I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this question, but I'll do it anyway:
Why is "var._fast_float_(const)" so much slower than fast_float(var,'const')? Example without giving the long definition of the variable 'long': %time longfast=long.subs(locals())._fast_float_(av) gives: CPU time: 0.59 s, Wall time: 1.60 s %time from sage.ext.fast_eval import fast_float longfast1=fast_float(long.subs(locals()),'av') gives: CPU time: 0.01 s, Wall time: 0.01 s This is in a notebook in Firefox 3 on Mac OS 10.4.11 with sage 3.1.1. I am very in favour of the fast_float functionality, since I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing without it. Plotting and calculations would be far too slow. +1 Cheers Stan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
