The "memory" profiler doesn't really measure memory consumption, it
just uses memory-allocation calls as a poor-man's timer that ticks
frequently enough.
IOW, don't use the "memory" profiler if you need to profile memory
consumption. We don't (yet) have such a beast in Emacs.
Hi Eli,
Thanks for the input.
I also did a benchmark-run (100 laps) on the two versions as well. Here are the results:
Old version
(20.113209378 361 11.676905440000002)
New version
(19.808761477999997 356 11.392537358999999)
I'll leave it up to Stefan and others to decide which of the versions of abbrev-suggestÂ
we should keep, if we want to include this in Emacs.
I'll send a new patch here soon.
Thanks!
