It looks to me like your work unit generation is lazy. I also surmise that it's taking 15 seconds to do 50,000 MD5 computations == 0.3ms per computation, and that might include the rest of your program, too. Is it possible that the lazy computation of the work unit -- which is not parallelized -- is only running fast enough to supply one agent with input? Have you tried completely materializing your work units before timing the agent part? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
