the results are:
You may want to pass '-O -inline' as well. -O enables general
optimizations, -inline enables function inlining.
-release is for disabling bounds checks, invariants, asserts..
The -debug and -release switches influence the language's
behavior. -O and -inline are optimization switches and should
not change the behavior of your program, codegen bugs aside ^^
Additionally, some people recommend never using -release. It
depends on that type of program you're writing, but the
performance gain is often not worth the loss in safety. Think
of the number of exploits enabled by C's lack of bounds
checking.
ok... now the speed results are exact the same...
so...
besides
void*, ubyte*, a pointer to a strange, not constructible struct,
I could take a iota too...
