[External] : Re: Priority redistribution in Old Object Sample event

[Erik Gahlin]

  *   Hmmmm, I'm still not sure I understand the rationale. What is the problem that you were trying to solve with this logic?

Purpose is to keep samples evenly distributed over "allocation time". samples thar are in the "middle" are typically memory leaks, but keep the list to a fixed small size, so we can emit events for them at every chunk. I agree, this can be discussed separately. I'm not claiming this is the ultimate algorithm, but it was easy to implement.
