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?
