There are many programming languages where some frequent programming patterns (like non tail recursion) use more stack than the default of 8192. People normally increase the stack limit in such cases, e.g.
# ulimit -S -s 800000 The run time increase is linear in stack limit: # time run-this-one echo real 3,763s user 3,012s syst 0,249s busy 86,65% real 6,954s user 6,028s syst 0,425s busy 92,78% (with doubled stack limit) Or even: # ulimit -S -s unlimited # time run-this-one echo pgrep: cannot allocate 4611686018427387903 bytes real 0,658s user 0,071s syst 0,076s busy 22,31% -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917157 Title: run-this-one is very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/run-one/+bug/1917157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
