Add a perf test to measure the speed (and memory) of PDB handling.
* modified perf/heap.c so that it optionally creates a partially defined bytes every N bytes
* created perf/heap_pdb4.vgperf calling heap 4 (so one byte on 4 is PDB in what heap allocates).
before/after pool alloc, here are the performances on a ppc64. So, it looks like
pool alloc also significantly improves the speed of PDB handling.
perl perf/vg_perf --vg=../pool_alloc --vg=../before_pool_trunk_untouched --reps=5 perf/heap_pdb4.vgperf
-- heap_pdb4 --
heap_pdb4 pool_alloc:0.41s no: 3.0s ( 7.3x, -----) me:11.9s (29.0x, -----)
heap_pdb4 before_pool_trunk_untouched:0.41s no: 3.1s ( 7.6x, -3.7%) me:16.9s (41.1x,-41.7%)
