I noticed that, on Zero, UseTLAB defaults to false, because of this code: #if !defined(COMPILER1) && !defined(COMPILER2) && !defined(SHARK) define_pd_global(bool, BackgroundCompilation, false); define_pd_global(bool, UseTLAB, false); ... I don't understand why this is. Surely it only pointlessly slows down Zero. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew.
