howdy,
I just read about the Memory Manager bug in the
Feb 26 MacWeek ("Ask David Ramsey") and I got a
copy of the MMInit patch. So far, the performance
improvement has been great (~4x).
My code allocates (using ThinkC's malloc() call for
UNIX portability) approximately 4 Megs during a
standard run.
I have done a substantial amount of profiling on the
code and have just noticed a strange thing:
When I run the code from within the ThinkC development
environment, the malloc portion of the code requires
about 1/2 the time that it requires when I run it as
a standalone application. The execution time of the
rest of the code is constant.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Thanks,
--
