Hi all, I'm using 6.0.1 (64-bit)
I'm developing primarily on Windows 7 (just because) but deploying on Ubuntu Linux (14.04). I've noticed that on Linux the development tools start up roughly 10 times faster than on Windows and raco make compilation is about 2 seconds for 15 source files [~10K lines] vs 10-20 seconds per file on Windows [with all files specified on the command line because cmd.exe doesn't expand wildcards].
I don't see similar differences in performance of my application [though I haven't looked at memory use] ... if there is a speed difference, so far it isn't noticeable. Nor do I see any difference in startup times once my application is compiled and *linked*.
However, if I run racket and my application as a collection of scripts (doesn't matter pre-compiled with raco or not) there is an enormous difference in startup times: 2-3 seconds on Linux vs 30+ seconds on Windows.
Anybody know the reason(s) why the Windows versions (relatively) would be so much slower?
Just wondering. George ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
