I am trying to use `(current-process-memory 'cumulative)` to determine the total memory used by an application, including the memory that was reclaimed by the garbage collector. I would expect the results from the call to be constantly increasing, and this is indeed the case at a "global" scale:
[image: Screenshot 2020-12-16 084728.png] However, occasionally, there seems to be a drop in the reported memory use, as shown, if I zoom in the plot. The drops are about 8Mb each and there are about 20 of them for a program that makes 1 million calls. [image: Screenshot 2020-12-16 084522.png] At first, I thought this is a bug in the way I collect the data (and there might be a bug), but I can't seem to spot it, so I am wondering if my expectation is correct that `(current-process-memory 'cumulative)` will always report increasing results? In case this is important, I am using Racket 7.9 CS on a Windows machine. Thanks, Alex. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
