[Python-Dev] extremely slow exit for program having huge (45G) dict (python 2.5.2)

[Mike Coleman]

I unfortunately don't have time to work out how obmalloc works myself,
but I wonder if any of the constants in that file might need to scale
somehow with memory size.  That is, is it possible that some of them
that work okay with 1G RAM won't work well with (say) 128G or 1024G
(coming soon enough)?
