[pypy-dev] Fwd: pypy memory test

[Christian Walder]

Thanks for the quick reply.

You're right. When I tried to boil it down to a minimal example, I
incorrectly attributed my original problem to linked structures. This is
because if I create a large tuple instead of a linked structure in my
example, then the OS visible size does go down and up in both Linux and
OS/X.

Thanks again,
Christian
