20:32:11XachWhat are the downsides to using a very large --dynamic-space-size all the time regardless of physical memory?
20:34:57scymtymdynamic space size affects garbage collection "frequency" (bytes consed between gcs) so actual memory use is affected
20:41:15Xachscymtym: Ok, thanks. I had a misunderstanding about that. Is there a way to decouple it?
20:44:57scymtymby default, bytes consed between gcs is 5 % of the dynamic space size, i think. you can use SETF on SB-EXT:BYTES-CONSED-BETWEEN-GCS and SB-EXT:GENERATION-BYTES-CONSED-BETWEEN-GCS to explicitly control these parameters. but getting the gc to do specific things is difficult in general
20:46:57scymtymcontrolling the throughput vs. latency tradeoff slightly independently of the dynamic space size is probably the most useful thing one can do straightforwardly
