The cause is memory growth! Despite that they both process identical datsets:
- The perl version grabs 6.2MB of ram immediately, and then terminates.
Memory without autobox
- The autobixed version starts at about 40MB and then slowly grabs more and more memory until it finally finishes with over 300MB.
Memory with autobox
I'd be interested to hear if the autobox also grabs a heap of memory on your systems?
I also instrumenting them both with NYTProf, but the output is so bewildering (and large) that I'm not able to make any sense
of it. If there is anyone out there that wants to try and fix this, I'll make the NYTProf output, plus any other info I can supply, to them.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
