New issue 2911: high memory usage calling json.dumps https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2911/high-memory-usage-calling-jsondumps
Aaron Wise: When running a simple script (below) pypy3 has about 20x memory usage compared to cpython when performing json.dumps(). Seems like this might be related to issue [1124](https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/1124/memory-usage-parsing-json) Here are the memory-profiler traces: python3-3.6.5 Line # Mem usage Increment Line Contents ================================================ 12 999.1 MiB 999.1 MiB @profile(stream=fp) 13 def my_func(my_map): 14 1041.2 MiB 0.0 MiB for i in range(1): 15 999.1 MiB 0.0 MiB print(i) 16 #start = time.time() 17 1041.2 MiB 42.1 MiB a = json.dumps(my_map) pypy3-6.0.0 Line # Mem usage Increment Line Contents ================================================ 12 1359.5 MiB 1359.5 MiB @profile(stream=fp) 13 def my_func(my_map): 14 2314.0 MiB 0.0 MiB for i in range(1): 15 1359.5 MiB 0.0 MiB print(i) 16 #start = time.time() 17 2314.0 MiB 954.5 MiB a = json.dumps(my_map) ------ ``` #!python import random import json from memory_profiler import profile fp=open('memory_profiler.log','w+') @profile(stream=fp) def my_func(my_map): for i in range(1): print(i) a = json.dumps(my_map) if __name__ == '__main__': my_map = {} for i in range(10000000): my_map[''.join(str(random.randint(0,10000000)))] = random.uniform(0,1) my_func(my_map) ``` _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
