So *applyn *is only 3% faster for generated sequences with 10 elements (on my machine with 1.4 too).
Reducing the number of elements has a better effect: (let[t(fn[](applyn 5 + (range 1 6)))] (time(dotimes [_ 1000000] (t)))) ;438 msec (let[t(fn[](apply + (range 1 6)))] (time(dotimes [_ 1000000] (t)))) ;550 msec So for 5 elements, we have a performance boost of about 20% but I got a degradation for longer sequences than 12 elements. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
