I recently noticed that the benchmarks in examples/benchmarks was running significantly slower. I update Cygwin and Parrot daily - so there have been a lot of changes to account for. I idly asked on IRC if anyone was regularly tracking benchmark performance because I was feeling lazy.
Dan said not that he was aware of but if I was willing
to whip something up in Perl he would be more than
happy to do so on a regular basis. Well, I can't get
Pg working on Cygwin anymore (should have regression
tests everytime I update) so after messing with it for
an hour I decided to use SQLite. I also couldn't get
File::Basename to work correctly so I gave up and
rolled my own regex. Since at this point it was no
longer portable I just threw caution to the wind and
coded it *nix centric.
It assumes the parrot executable is in your $PATH env
It assumes it is being run from examples/benchmark
It is also a very quick hack because I was on my lunch
break.
