cc @nascheme Ah right, the arena size was changed by commit 85b6b70 (PR GH-14474, issue gh-81629): -#define ARENA_SIZE (256 << 10) /* 256KB */
+#ifdef USE_LARGE_ARENAS
+#define ARENA_BITS 20 /* 1 MiB */
+#else
+#define ARENA_BITS 18 /* 256 KiB */
+#endifwith: #if SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4
/* on 64-bit platforms use larger pools and arenas if we can */
#define USE_LARGE_ARENAS
...
#endif |
