Ahah. Actually, it's quite simple :-) On 64-bit Python: >>> id(82914 - 82913) == id(1) True On 32-bit Python: >>> id(82914 - 82913) == id(1) False So the first non-zero alloc_delta really has a snowball effect, as it creates new memory block which will produce a non-zero alloc_delta on the next run, etc.
