For giggles I tried to write a garbage collector to replace libgc in tinypy. I tried doing a tri-color incremental collector. I couldn’t get it to work, so I ended up switching it to be more of a tri-color mark and sweep collector.<\/p>\n
The result of my mark and sweep collector was a 40% reduction in speed. I’m guessing ol’ libgc was designed with a bit more cleverness than mine \ud83d\ude09 Anyway, for now I’ve moved my “tgc” development into a branch of tinypy svn:\/\/www.imitationpickles.org\/tinypy\/branches\/tgc if you want to see it in action.<\/p>\n
