I'm surprised at some of the conclusions, there is an implication that this helps garbage collection.... while the golang folks pretty much see the opposite effect, where 64 pointers help their garbage collector out a lot versus 32 bit pointers it's a bit hard to read online ;-) also wonder how much is a distro effect; if it's easy to run such benchmarks (still poking at it)... one can run a clear linux docker instance on ubuntu easily something like docker run -it clearlinux and then inside the docker install a pile of dev tools swupd update swupd bundle-add os-clr-on-clr and you should have a pretty darn complete system with our full toolchain/etc. Depending on the benchmark/workload, there's typically [*] a 0 to 10% perf delta between something like ubuntu and clear linux.
