[cl-debian] Bug#340104: sbcl: :purify t in save-lisp-and-die inappropriate

[Christophe Rhodes]

Package: sbcl
Version: 1:0.9.6.0-12
Severity: normal

Hi, Peter.

in install-clc.lisp, you call save-lisp-and-die with :purify t.  This is
a performance pessimization on x86 and x86-64 (since Juho Snellman's
work on page table iteration in the generational garbage collector).  If
you took out the explicit :purify keyword argument, it should Do The
Right Thing on all platforms.

Cheers,

Christophe
