From the release notes: - Massif has been completely overhauled. Instead of measuring space-time usage -- which wasn't always useful and many people found confusing -- it now measures space usage at various points in the execution, including the point of peak memory allocation. Its output format has also changed: instead of producing PostScript graphs and HTML text, it produces a single text output (via the new 'ms_print' script) that contains both a graph and the old textual information, but in a more compact and readable form. Finally, the new version should be more reliable than the old one, as it has been tested more thoroughly. So the behaviour you're seeing is as expected. Nick |
