The bitmap memory isn't actually stored on the VM heap -- it's an "external allocation" -- so improvements to the GC will not help this much. A compacting GC would have some positive effects in that reduced fragmentation will cause the reported "footprint size" of the virtual heap to be closer to the actual usage. Since the total allocation cap is based on the footprint size, you'd potentially have a bit more memory available for external allocs. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
