By "disabling", I meant disabling the optimization that's trying to rearrange the arenas so that more memory can be returned to the OS. This presumably wouldn't be any worse than things were in Python 2.4, when memory was never returned to the OS. (I'm working on a test case.) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
