I've seen this asserted several times in this thread: that GC is done every fixed number of allocations. This is not correct. GC is done when the surplus of allocations less deallocations exceeds a threashold. See Modules/gcmodule.c and look for ".count++" and ".count--". In normal operation, allocations and deallocations stay somewhat balanced, but when creating a large data structure, it's allocations all the way and GC runs often. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
