Russ Cox 408238e20b runtime: change default stack segment size to 8 kB
Changing from 4 kB to 8 kB brings significant improvement
on a variety of the Go 1 benchmarks, on both amd64
and 386 systems.

Significant runtime reductions:

          amd64  386
GoParse    -14%  -1%
GobDecode  -12% -20%
GobEncode  -64%  -1%
JSONDecode  -9%  -4%
JSONEncode -15%  -5%
Template   -17% -14%

In the longer term, khr's new stacks will avoid needing to
make this decision at all, but for Go 1.2 this is a reasonable
stopgap that makes performance significantly better.

Demand paging should mean that if the second 4 kB is not
used, it will not be brought into memory, so the change
should not adversely affect resident set size.
The same argument could justify bumping as high as 64 kB
on 64-bit machines, but there are diminishing returns
after 8 kB, and using 8 kB limits the possible unintended
memory overheads we are not aware of.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
