Re: Benchmarking 4.3.2 vs 4.1.2

I remember a discussion about system calls here earlier. What is the status of that? I've been doing some tests and have found that this code runs about 2.5 times slower under 4.3.2 than it did on 4.1.2 on the same machine (running OS X):

2.5? That's really bad... I know Rasmus is very interested in getting rid of System Calls :) He discovered that they do a lot of damage on performance, I don't know how far he is or what changes he has made. For what I've read, performance *has* dropped since 4.1.2 (or 4.2.3), would be nice if that could be improved :) -- Tom Sommer, Denmark www.dreamcoder.dk - www.tsn.dk
