[Haskell-cafe] Battling laziness

[Joel Reymont]

-hc points to script#9 below.

script (_, _, affid) (Custom (JoinedTable 0)) =
     do {-# SCC "script#8" #-}push "takeEmptySeat" $
             {-# SCC "script#9" #-}takeEmptySeat Holdem affid []
        {-# SCC "script#10" #-}return $ Eat $ Just Go

What takeEmptySeat does it call pickTable

takeEmptySeat game_type _ filters Go =
     do push "pickTable" $ pickTable game_type filters
        return $ Eat $ Just Go

pickTable retrieves the list of SrvServerInfo structures, etc.

Overall, -hc does not help me figure out where my data is being  
retained. My understanding is that I need to do -hbdrag,void fo  
rthat. I did not try -hd and -hy, they would only help me narrow down  
the producers, right?

My program seems to spend 70% of the time collecting garbage. Notice  
the HUGE overall allocations. This is my trying to launch 4k bots  
over 8 hours. Only 1k bots were launched and just 300 of those got to  
play. Maybe because they did not have time with all the garbage  
collection :-).

The tests that I ran previously did not involve heavy network  
traffic, just a few very small packets. This is why I was able to get  
to thousands of bots in just a couple of hours and keep them there.
