The idea seems good.

  • growth_factor_ptr = getenv("RUBY_HEAP_SLOTS_GROWTH_FACTOR");
  • if (growth_factor_ptr != NULL) {
  •   double growth_factor_f = atof(growth_factor_ptr);
    

atof() don't have proper error check. it should be strtod().

  •   if (RTEST(ruby_verbose))
    
  •       fprintf(stderr, "growth_factor=%f (%f)\n", growth_factor_f, initial_growth_factor);
    
  •   if (growth_factor_f > 0) {
    
  •       initial_growth_factor = growth_factor_f;
    
  •   }
    

This seems don't work when growth_factor_f is less than 1.

Thanks for the review. How about this?
