If a run went on for a while (20-60s), and you ran it multiple times (I did), it's generally pretty good, but it certainly wasn't something that should be trusted blindly. I generally ignored the memory information unless I was looking at something > 1.5x. -Eric _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
