16 msec (>= ~idx (alength a#)) -- speed of the original areduce 17 msec (zero? (unchecked-subtract (alength a#) ~idx)) 33 msec (zero? (- (alength a#) ~idx)) 293 msec (= ~idx (alength a#)) (defmacro areduce-2 [a idx ret init expr] `(let [a# ~a] (loop [~idx (int 0) ~ret ~init] (if (>= ~idx (alength a#)) ~ret (recur (unchecked-inc ~idx) ~expr))))) So, the problem is really about '=' operator. I wonder, could it be some kind of special op (like eq / eqn / equal in Common Lisp)? Regards, Dmitriy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
