Without this optimisation, `cabal info somethingnonexisting` results in 960,397,120 bytes allocated in the heap 739,652,560 bytes copied during GC 67,757,128 bytes maximum residency (24 sample(s)) 2,234,096 bytes maximum slop 147 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation) with this optimisation: 1,000,825,744 bytes allocated in the heap 656,112,432 bytes copied during GC 44,476,616 bytes maximum residency (24 sample(s)) 2,302,864 bytes maximum slop 109 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation) So the total memory in use is significantly lower. The total runtime is also slightly reduced, from INIT time 0.001s ( 0.001s elapsed) MUT time 0.683s ( 1.050s elapsed) GC time 0.946s ( 0.946s elapsed) EXIT time 0.005s ( 0.005s elapsed) Total time 1.637s ( 2.002s elapsed) to INIT time 0.001s ( 0.001s elapsed) MUT time 0.664s ( 0.988s elapsed) GC time 0.797s ( 0.797s elapsed) EXIT time 0.004s ( 0.004s elapsed) Total time 1.467s ( 1.789s elapsed) Note that there's currently ~80k cache entries, but only ~10k unique package names and ~6k unique versions. So hash-consing helps reduce the amount of heap objects for both value types by one order of magnitude, which among other benefits also reduces GC overhead.
