Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghci session slows down over time.

Thanks for the responses. I am using GHC 7.4.1 an Ubuntu. Shutting down and restarting ghci is my current workaround. I was hoping for something a bit less disruptive. :kickoffGC or something like that. --J Arthur On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 6:54 AM, Ketil Malde wrote:

Is this a known issue? More importantly, is there a known workaround?

My experience is that ghci (typically run as an inferior Emacs process) often retains a lot of memory. Thus, I occasionally kill and restart it. (Not sure if that counts as a workaround :-)
