Are you saying this w.r.t. my code or in general? If the former, be specific, better yet, show us your code. I avoided (1) on purpose, as I explained. The other choices I think are reasonable already. It makes no sense to unroll a procedure that runs once, or macro-ify something that gets inlined. > in real world, stuff like the shootout is pretty useless, as generally > you'd reach for a better algorithm rather than implementing the > shackled, crippled, naive algorithms that the benchmark forces you to > implement. Some of us prefer facts and measurements, flawed as they may appear to blind faith. Many of the Shootout benchmarks are quite contrived, I agree, but the N-Body benchmark is nice. I think it started elsewhere. You'll have a hard time coming up with a better algorithm, unless you are familiar with the field of numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations. There are Runge-Kutta methods that can give a constant factor speed-up, but they are just as easily implemented in any other language. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
