Here's an idea that may help implementation slightly, and will almost certainly increase the likelihood of any patch getting accepted: do the pool scanning and freeing only on specific call of e.g. gc.free_mem(). IIUC, you'll still need to change the allocation strategy slightly, but that's lower risk. Once your strategy has proven itself, we can start talking about ways to perform the freeing automatically. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ WiFi is the SCSI of the 21st Century -- there are fundamental technical reasons for sacrificing a goat.
