Re: Windows vs Linux Performance, windows host 4-6x slower than linux guest vm
Thanks Mario, these are very useful points. I took a benchmark that would easily compile on both from https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/program/fasta-gcc-9.html Both windows and linux compiling with: > gcc -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer fasta.c -o fasta > time ./fasta 1 > /dev/null Running times for 100M iterations were: Linux (VM): 2.014, 2.028, 2.016, 2.028 Windows (Host): 2.992, 2.964, 2.980, 2.965 so slower, but not 4-6x, only 1.5x I'll have a think about your other points after I've tried Peter's suggestion of trying with __fastcall. I did try dropping back to 5.2.0 as I have a custom 5.3.0 that is patched for chicken-install, but it gave the same results under windows.

Perhaps it's something to do with the different C calling conventions the two OSes use? I remembered that we used to define C_fcall as __fastcall under Windows with MSVC back when we still supported it. That's when x86 was still very common. It looks like Mingw also supports it nowadays (or maybe it always has?) See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/fastcall?view=msvc-160 I don't know if it makes a big difference - that page says it's ignored by compilers targeting arm or x64 architecture, so maybe it won't buy you anything. But if you feel like trying it out, you can add something like the following to the top of chicken.h (or chicken-config.h): #define C_fcall __fastcall and then recompile CHICKEN itself and your code, and see if that makes a noticable difference.

Re: Windows vs Linux Performance, windows host 4-6x slower than linux guest vm
Actually, this is slightly incorrect, the libchicken is coming from a different place, it should be the windows version I built, ldd found the wrong one as I was running it with msys2/mingw64 chicken build on the path instead of the one being used in my windows env, but that's still the only non-windows library being used. libchicken.dll => /c/chicken/bin/libchicken.dll (0x7ff8094d) On Wed, 8 Sept 2021 at 08:10, Mark Fisher wrote: > > > But to what libraries is Chicken linked in each case?

I think I've got it done, but it only outputs at the function level, and the profile between the two platforms just seems to mirror a general difference in being slower on one platform. In the output, the top function is the main run method, then everything goes through "time-op" to grab timings. Then the biggest time after that is just the one that takes the longest, day4 part2, which is doing md5 of lots of strings through the method "direct-hashing": (define (direct-hashing match length) (let ([n 0] [prim (md5-primitive)]) (do-until (substring=? (message-digest-string prim (conc secret n)) match 0 0 length) (set! n (add1 n))) n)) And scanning down the other functions, they're all invoked the same number of times between both platforms, but just slower in windows. Is it possible to get the profiling to tell me more than this?

But to what libraries is Chicken linked in each case? That could be the source of the discrepancy (does Chicken link to Windows-specific libs when compiled for Windows?

That performance discrepancy is kinda surprising, specially considering that Linux is running as a guest on a VM on Windows. Maybe profiling can help spot what is causing the performance difference?

Re: Windows vs Linux Performance, windows host 4-6x slower than linux guest vm
I have a question related to this. Wasn't there a Chicken-Scheme once that used the Microsoft language tool chain? I could be mistaken.

Windows vs Linux Performance, windows host 4-6x slower than linux guest vm
I've got a windows and linux environment for Chicken on the same machine. linux is running in VMWare Workstation, the host is Windows 10. I'm seeing quite a difference in performance between the two; windows host is running about ~4-6x slower than a VM that's running on the same machine. The code I'm running is some of the 2015 advent of code challenges I'm writing to learn scheme. My codebase is: https://github.com/markjfisher/aoc-chicken All times below (last 3 columns) are in millis, they show Total time, then times for the 2 parts that are run to make that total. building: $ cd build; RELEASE=1 make clean all On my linux VM $ ./advent2015 Day: Part 1 Part 2 Time P1 P2 01 : 232 1783 1165 02 : 1606483 3842356 6234 28 03 : 2565 2639 9727 70 04 : 254575 1038736 2713 490 2223 On my Windows Host > advent2015.exe Day: Part 1 Part 2 Time P1 P2 01 : 232 1783 6332 31 02 : 1606483 3842356 375 187 188 03 : 2565 2639 656 187 469 04 : 254575 1038736 10735 2156 8579 Both are using 5.3.0rc2, both using "-O3" flags for release mode.
