I don't see the point of the general GC > stats. I think I've never ever used it. Same for me: I find `gc-live-object-stats' more helpful than `gc-stats'. But as I said, even if we no longer have it in-core, we should be able to partially emulate it using guardians et al. > Isn't it is possible to get other lowlevel statistics, or a list of > live objects from BGC? That doesn't seem to be the case, but I need to investigate it further. Anyway, even if we can have such information, it will be lower-level than `gc-stats', so not very useful I'm afraid. > there is a more useful benchmark at > > http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen/public/software/GCBench.scheme > > It's part of a suite by Hans Boehm of GC benchmarks, and I think you can > find more Scheme transliterations on the net. Thanks for the pointer! I'll look into it.
