i think that when "-A" is larger than cpu cache, it's increasing should decrease GC times. there is no "best point", it's just memory/speed compromise. when -A is large enough, GC times should be a small percent of total execution time, so it should be no much difference between 6m or 16m settings. but 16m should be slightly faster than 6m, and 32m should be slightly faster than 16m
Well yes, obviously.
i've just tested GHC with "-A6m" and "-A16m" and it was only 1 second faster with second setting (of total 60 seconds)
Thanks. Simon
