No, but last time I thought about this I figured a very simple (benchmark ...) would simply: * Iterate with exponentially higher repeat counts until total runtime reaches >= 1 second (say). * Then, iterate with the same count until the timing over some period, say 10 seconds, has a sufficiently low standard deviation. * Then, take that repeat count and re-run enough to reach, say, 10 seconds, of time. Obviously the 1, 10 and std dev thesholds would be selectable, with some default. So that in the normal case for micro-benchmarking, you'd just do: (benchmark (run-my-stuff)) And it would usually "just work" even if run-my-stuff is a trivial function that completes really really quickly (due to the exponential growth). Thoughts? It's obviously not meant for really serious benchmarking, but I think it would be a good thing to have in cases where one might now otherwise use (time ..). -- / Peter Schuller -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
