When writing a new field to a Pickle, the size at least doubles. We may want to reduce that growth rate, particularly as the message gets larger. See bug 1253131 for more discussion.
Gabor, is this something you could pick up?

Attached patch Reduce growth rate above cap. v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Something like this or do we need something more advanced? (the cap size is quite random, not sure what would be the best for it)

Thanks, I think that's fine. You might want to reduce the cap to around 100kb or 200kb instead of 500kb. I'd also wrap up the weird shift math in a documented function, or just use a constant and hope the compiler can optimize it.

Yeah... I hardly think an int multiplication will be the bottle neck before an alloc/memmove (or ever for that matter), just liked the shift math for some weird reason... Let's go with the constant, 1.4 is a better fit anyway.

It would be great if we could get this in for the next beta experiment.

can we uplift to 47?

> can we uplift to 47?

Yes, I think this is a safe patch just since there is no real good way to test it, I wanted it to stick on mc for a few days before the uplift.

Reduce growth rate above a cap. v3

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: none
[User impact if declined]: It's a memory optimization patch. The hope is that we can win some memory for e10s in case of large messages. It can also help preventing some memory fragmentation.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: There is no real good way to write an automated test for this.
[Risks and why]: I consider this a safe patch, I cannot think of any real risk here.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none
