I got a 50% speedup using psort instead of sort with a compute- intensive comparator and a 100 element sequence on a dual-core machine.
That said, I found a faster way to do it: I separated the intensive calculations from the comparator - just returning a numeric value. I used pmap to get a sequence of structs of item and value, which I sorted by value using a regular sort. This version was 80% faster than the original. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
