Re: [Stackless] lua vs. stackless python

[Phoenix Sol <phoenix@...>]

Good question; I just picked this up somewhere, and cannot find a definitive answer; do you have it?
And I suppose my wording glosses over the fact that it depends on what you are doing, right?

So is there a known 'memory overhead' for a tasklet?

And is there a known overhead for a lua coro? (Maybe it would be more fair to compare a tasklet to a 'Coco' coroutine... but still I wonder what the overhead of wrapping a function with coroutine.wrap() is...)

How do you know they are only a few kilobytes a piece?
