I used a simple benchmark to compare the relative speeds of Parrot with and without the patch, and I was surprised to find that the test script runs (very roughly) 10% faster *with* the patch. Can someone confirm this? Running revision 17860; benchmark script attached; run as: $ parrot bench.pir 100000
Since leo was concerned about memory usage, by running valgrind: $ valgrind --tool=massif parrot bench.pir 100000 I found that, over several runs, the spacetime (time * bytes) usage is slightly better with the patch than without. Can someone confirm this also? Thanks, Alek Storm
