[IronPython] Looping in IronPython - should it be linear?

[Stanislas Pinte]

Hello,

I have had issues recently with a simulation framework, using simpy and
IP, that is giving an out of memory error after +- 15 minutes...

Repeatedly.

If the looping code is costing anything non-linear, it is a serious
issue ;-)

Stan.
