Control: retitle -1 lintian: run checks in parallel Control: severity -1 normal
Hi, > * Do checks in subprocesses, so memory will be reclaimed There is an experimental branch that runs checks in parallel. For reasons unknown, It is slower by a factor of two or more. Reasons may include unwanted serialization (although most data structures were "closed upon") or a repeated reading of the remaining collections files. Most data is now in memory, but some files remain. There are 161 checks. The strategy "fork, do memory intensive stuff, exit" is the best and maybe only way to recapture memory in Perl. Running checks in parallel would automatically release memory used in each check. Re-titling the bug accordingly. Kind regards Felix Lechner
