Maybe, maybe not:
(do
(set! *unchecked-math* true)
(let [nums (double-array (repeatedly 1e3 rand))]
(dotimes [_ 10]
(time
(dotimes [i 1e8] (Math/ceil (double (aget nums (rem i 1e3)))))))))
"Elapsed time: 1405.835 msecs"
(do
(set! *unchecked-math* true)
(let [nums (double-array (repeatedly 1e3 rand))]
(dotimes [_ 10]
(time
(dotimes [i 1e8] (double (aget nums (rem i 1e3))))))))
"Elapsed time: 1409.305 msecs"
Given that the i7 is far into the gigaflops territory, I don't find this
particularly surprising. But I'm not a hardware architecture expert by any
means nor an expert of what kind of magic the JVM can do.
