rfold nine: you mentioned using start instead of Thread.start, what's the difference that causes one to work and not the other? 08:31
nine rfold: Thread.start starts a genuinely new thread for the sole purpose of running the block you pass it. After that the thread is stopped again and garbage collected. start { } schedules the block on the thread pool. The thread pool's threads are retained and re-used. 08:37
rfold Thanks. Should this be documented in perl6/doc?
nine rfold: I'd say so, yes

[JIT] Handle NaN in FP branching comparisons

Adds branches checking for parity flag, because the carry flag is also set when the result of comparison is unordered (i.e. one operand is a NaN value).
The reason I never saw them in C compiler output is that the C compiler just reorders the comparison, so it can always use the is-greater comparison result ('ja' jump). That might be an interesting optimization for us as well.		 12:56
