Thanks for the tips. This indeed looks like an OpenJDK big int poor performance issue. For the reference, the results of two recur-based implementations:
user=> (defn fib [n] #_=> (loop [n n a 0N b 1N] #_=> (if (zero? n) a (recur (dec n) b (+ a b))))) #'user/fib user=> (time (rem (fib 1000000) 1000)) "Elapsed time: 53845.699995 msecs" (defn recur-fibo [n] (letfn [(fib [current next n] (if (zero? n) current (recur next (+ current next) (dec n))))] (fib 0N 1N n))) user=> (time (rem (recur-fibo 1000000) 1000)) "Elapsed time: 52966.393722 msecs" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
