| Date: | Sat, 29 Oct 2022 07:07:25 +0200 |
In this blog post https://tdodge.consulting/blog/living-the-emacs-garbage-collection-dream the author asserts that a one-line patch "reduces the total wall clock duration for sweep conses execution by approximately 50%", at least in one benchmark. There are some caveats; read the blog post for the full story. The patch can be found here: https://github.com/tyler-dodge/emacs/commit/36d2a8d5a4f741ae99540e139fff2621bbacfbaa Is this a change we could/should realistically make in Emacs?
