I did try commenting out all calls to `scm_i_gc ()' and running my workload again. Actually, it doesn't make a big difference: a lot of time is still spent in `scm_i_sweep_card ()', called from `scm_i_sweep_some_cards ()' and friends. > For startup time, I think the best (as in: quickest) would be undump a > previous run, instead of recalculating all the initialization on every > run. Not only does this save on GC time, it also bypasses all evaluation. > Isn't this what Emacs also does? Don't know, we'd have to investigate further. Still, that wouldn't fix our greedy-GC problem.
