Ahh ok. I had read following text on http://clojure.org/agents "Note that use of Agents starts a pool of non-daemon background threads that will prevent shutdown of the JVM. Use shutdown-agents<http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/send-off> to terminate these threads and allow shutdown."
That is the reason I though the agents consume some system ressources, even when they do nothing, and I realy had the assumption somehow that every agents has it's own Thread. :( 2012/4/12 Stefan Kamphausen <ska2...@googlemail.com> > Hi, > > > On Wednesday, April 11, 2012 8:27:26 PM UTC+2, Goldritter wrote: >> >> >> Another thing about the posted code here. >> When the alogrithm is stopped, the start-stop-agent became the state >> "stopped".
