The problem with this theory (basically, that glibc is taking a performance penalty by giving memory back to the system and hence being more space efficient) is that not only is Hoard significantly faster than glibc for OpenLDAP, it's also more space-efficient and allocates less total memory as soon as there are multiple clients querying the server at the same time. See: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200608/msg00039.html http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200611/msg00004.html http://highlandsun.com/hyc/malloc/ You can also see on those graphs, particularly the last page, the relative performance of tcmalloc, which is more efficient but a little slower. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
