I understand your scepticism but, even applaud it, but, in my case, it comes from actually trying it and measuring the difference (again in my case you didn't need anything fancy it was huge and highly visible). It happened often enough on different projects that I just do it routinely now. Anyway, if I *ever* see something that might be a GC-like problem I first eliminate heap growth from the picture (and, this is all I was suggesting here). Perhaps a hold over from earlier versions of the JVM but I don't personally care that much with my servers -- I have a machine dedicated to the application, it's got a lot of memory, use it. Might have a different attitude for a desktop app :-) Cheers, Bob > > -- > / Peter Schuller > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your > first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en ---- Bob Hutchison Recursive Design Inc. http://www.recursive.ca/ weblog: http://xampl.com/so -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
