Hi Christopher, I ran your code with only one modification, using the "time" macro to measure the execution time of the mapper function itself:
(use ['clojure.java.io :only '(reader)]) (use ['clojure.string :only '(split)]) (defn mapper [lines] (doseq [line lines] (doseq [word (split line #"\s+")] (println (str word "\t1"))))) (time (mapper (line-seq (reader *in*)))) Processing a file that contained 1 copy of the "Hound of Baskerville" text took 1.9 seconds. Processing a file that contained 2 copies of the text took 2.8 seconds. Processing a file that contained 4 copies of the text took 3.8 seconds. I did not use cake, but ran mapper.clj via a direct call to the java executable. So I think the times you're seeing is due to either Cake or the way the timing is done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
