Re[6]: [Gc] Performance of bdwgc7.2 had degraded compared to 6.8

[Ivan Maidanski]

Hi!

Since I don't know where is the problem, I've prepared a test patch against gc7.1.

So, please compare the speed (against v71/v72a2) of the following: g71+my_patch, gc71+my_patch+(-DSTATIC=).

I assume that: you dont use GC_DEBUG (or any GC_debug_ funcs), GC_ASSERTION, GC_THREADS, "GC_PRINT_STATS" (or any other GC statistic printing routines). I also assume that your target host is Lunux/x86 (or x64). Is this correct?

PS. Due to the mailing list restrictions, I'll send the patch (directly to the recipients) in a separate letter.

Regards.
