produce memory overhead in bazaar

[Lukas Diekmann]

Hi there,

my name is Lukas and i am working on optimizations for pypy. Pypy is a
python interpreter written in python itself and aims to simplify,
improve and speed-up python interpretation. For my master's thesis I am
writing several benchmarks based on real programs that use a lot of
memory. Thus I'm hoping to find out which datatypes produce the most
overhead so I can extend the pypy interpreter and jit by implementing
additional datatypes that are optimized for their purpose (for example a
list containing integers only).

I think that your program could be a candidate for benchmarking because
it seems to eat a lot of memory. But since I am new to bazaar it is hard
for me to tell and produce a situation where it uses the most memory. So
I wanted to ask you, if you could tell me a scenario that is worth
looking at and how I can reproduce it.

If you want to know more about this project have a look at
