Subject: [Caml-list] Stdlib's hashtbl never sized down?
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 08:52:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120424065257.GA25891@yeeloong.happyleptic.org> (raw)
I just discovered that stdlib's hash table size is doubled when the
average list length reach some threshold, but are never sized down. So
if one uses a long lived hashtable which number of elements vary with
time the underlying array will only grow. I suppose it's on purpose but
need help to find a reason for this.
