I'm trying to reduce the startup overhead imposed by Typed Racket, and I'm running into a mystifying problem
If you look here at https://gist.github.com/3098628 you'll see two small files, `tnull.rkt` and `rlnull.rkt`. The former is an empty file written in `typed/racket/base`. The latter is an attempt to generate exactly the same expanded program manually. I've also included the decompiled output for both files, which appears to show that everything in the compilation of `tnull` is in the compilation of `rlnull` (`rlnull` has a few *more* explicit requires, equalizing this has no effect). However, as the transcript shows, just running the `tnull.rkt` file takes about 1/3 longer than running `rnull.rkt`. Is there an obvious reason for this, and can I affect it? Could the actual difference be made clear in the decompiler output? As an aside, the `(require "here.rkt")` idiom for `(module* name #f ...)` in the decompiler output was pretty confusing the first time I saw it. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
