They may have had Appel's "Garbage Collection Can Be Faster Than Stack Allocation" (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.39.8...) in mind. Also, the technique described in that comment (forking processes with finite lifetimes, allocating but not freeing, terminating and letting the OS clean up all at once) is also what Erlang does, and it seems to work pretty well in practice. Each process has its own arena, for allocation purposes. |
