Does anyone here know why GC calls the free_xxx functions? ISTM, they
cannot be involved in cycles. Free lists are kept by container objects
to speed-up allocation. Having GC call the free_xxx just slows down the
GC process and all the subsequent set/list/tuple allocations until the
free lists are built-up again. IMO, the free_xxx functions should only
be called during atexit or by an explicit call from the user perhaps,
sys.clear_freelists() or somesuch. |
