Consider how or if it makes sense to measure the effects of garbage compaction

Open michaelherold opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Ruby 2.7 added the ability to compact the heap during garbage collection so that memory is less fragmented, thereby lowers the necessary memory for a program. I'm wondering if there is something we should tie into the gem around this?

It seems like this might be related to #1, but could be entirely separate.

Aaron Patterson's gist for visualizing the heap might be useful for learning what we can do.
