Maybe, if < 32 KB for a large method is plenty (about 600 bytes of IL code): basically all the methods in out corlib are below that size. That can be improved when time for optimization comes (we already use a mempool to reduce greatly the calls to malloc). And anyway a method is jitted only when it's actually called, so I don't think this is a great deal. > We're not planning to use this technique in DotGNU because we > think that the resulting heap thrash problem will likely > destroy the performance gains from BURG. There are two main advantages with BURG: it can generate optimized code fast, yes, but the main advantage is that it makes porting easier. Anyway, time will tell, we have still a lot of development to do. lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better
