HI I'm working on an incremental GC for PyPy. How do I measure GC pauses in CPython? (that is, the circular reference searching stuff) Cheers, fijal

For what it's worth I threw together some code that might be helpful: http://bpaste.net/show/140334/ if someone was interested it might be a cool idea to properly organize this up and find a place to expose VM statistics like this. It'd also probably useful to use sane units, and maybe (it's unclear to me) exclude some amount of finalizations (Ideally I think you'd ignore use del functions, but keep the bits of C code that decref other things and actually call free()).
