Hi!
This should perform much better and more closely resembles what you are trying to achieve. Note that Perl's data structures are bummed to absurd dimensions.

(do ((i 0 (add1 i))) ((>= i 250000)) (hash-table-set! a (cons (random 500000) (random 500000)) #t)) (print "reading ...") (do ((i 0 (add1 i)) (hits 0)) ((>= i 10000)) (let ((x (random 500000)) (y (random 500000))) (when (hash-table-ref/default a (cons x y) #f) (set! hits (add1 hits))))) (print "done.") _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
