[issue9942] Allow memory sections to be OS MERGEABLE

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

In order to arrive at some resolution of this issue, I'm answering the original question ("Should Python enable a way for folks to inform the OS of MADV_MERGEABLE memory?"). The discussion has shown that the answer is "no"; there are no pages of memory where this would provide any advantage.

Closing as "won't fix". Anybody reopening it should

a) provide a patch with the actual change to be made, and
b) accompany it with a benchmark demonstrating some gain.
