OK massif reports are too big to upload so I only pastebin'd the peak memory snapshot. fix-v2 uses 1.449 MB [1] (M = 1000) while my patch uses 1.394 MB heap. The actual saving if we focus on packlist_alloc() is 599,147,916B - 544,691,628B = roughly 50 MB or 8%. It's not _that_ big saving, so if your test runs do not show significant speedups, then fix-v2 is probably a better option. [1] https://pastebin.com/8iDcm9M4 [2] https://pastebin.com/bXBjzPvN -- Duy
