Here is an experiment to figure out what causes the problem. If this is an issue of the lazy sequence, then this code should be equally bad:
(defn lazy-seq-fibo ([] (concat [0 1] (lazy-seq-fibo 0N 1N))) ([a b] (let [n (+ (mod a 1000) (mod b 1000))] (lazy-seq (cons n (lazy-seq-fibo b n)))))) Instead of the real Fibonacci number, we can use the modulus to get the same result, i.e. instead of a + b, we use (a mod 1000) + (b mod 1000). Now we get: user=> (time (rem (nth (lazy-seq-fibo) 1000000) 1000)) "Elapsed time: 201.592 msecs" 875N Thus it is not the lazy sequence. As mentioned by others, it is the big integer addition. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
