I'm -10 on the patch in issue1540617 ( +/-263). Reason: It's a good thing that the range of "range" is limited since it returns a list of integers. range(232) allocates (2*32)16 bytes + small overhead for ints plus the space for the list (probably (2*32)sizeof(ptr) which is 4 or 8 bytes). So far the memory for the ints is never returned to the system. I'm working on the problem.
