wrt 2039 - I would like to see the free list compaction called from gc.collect() rather than a function in sys... something you suggested. As I noted in the comments to 2039, in the presence of pymalloc there is almost no value to floats having a freelist as far as I can test - other than in microbenchmarks. I see from a comment in 2013 that you were testing that patch with a debug build, which skews the timings. If your performance evaluation of 2039 was also done with a debug build, I suggest you try it with a non-debug build (which is what I used for all my testing). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
