Compiled with -O2 -threaded.) i don't think so: Total time 4.88s ( 5.14s elapsed) Total time 7.08s ( 4.69s elapsed) so with 1 thread wall clock time is 5 seconds, with 2 thread wall time is 4.7 seconds cpu time spent increased with 2 threads - this indicates that you either use hyperthreaded/SMT-capable cpu or speed is limited by memory access operations so, my conclusion - this benchmark limited by memory latencies so it cannot be efficiently multithreaded -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:bulat.zigans...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
