Hi,
In my script I was using ⍎¨ on a vector of character vector from each line of a
file. After some testing, I guess it is not really the ⍎, that is slow. The
time scaling is strange.
In the following, the first row and the third row (using ¨ and ⍣ respectively)
scales like n*3, while the problem size is only n*2. My script ends up taking
more than a minute to read a 1000×1000 numeric matrix from a text file. On the
other hand, the naive {⍵+1⊣⍎v}⍣n 1 indeed scales like n*2.
In addition, gnu apl is taking nearly a gigabytes of memory to run the
following code, while dyalog is on the order of megabytes.
