Talk:LSL Script Memory

Has anyone tested the new MONO environment for memory usage? It seems its very different from the previous LSO numbers... I think a new section for MONO is needed.--Darwin Recreant 21:21, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Needed Updates

Using the script below I found a few unusual things happening. One of them seems to be a change in free script memory at the time of compilation. This script provided the data listed below it.<lsl>integer count;

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
   }
   timer()
   {
       llOwnerSay((string)llGetFreeMemory() + " , " + (string)(++count));
       list l = ["", "", "", ""];
       llOwnerSay((string)llGetFreeMemory());
   }
   touch_start(integer detected)
   {
       llResetScript();
   }

This is interesting. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the confidence boost and I thought so too. If getting inworld is still a problem for you tell me what to run and I'll happily do it for you. Otherwise my tests might be a bit less than useful. Those repeated 60664's are weird though. -- Eddy ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

It seems llGetFreeMemory() does not show true value and is dependent on sim performance (random like) on getting updated. I guess the only way to know true impact of operations and variables can only be tested after many subsequent tries similar to Eddy's method. --Darwin Recreant 08:51, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
