[Factor-talk] Speedup to math.functions round
Hi I just noticed that math.functions round can be sped up. Compare the version from math.functions vs the comparison version. : round ( x -- y ) dup sgn 2 / + truncate ; inline : round2 ( x -- y ) dup sgn 0.5 * + truncate ; inline Testing = warm up execution of each statement, followed by 3 executions of gc [ 1 [ 42.3 round drop ] times ] time gc [ 1 [ 42.3 round2 drop ] times ] time round results = { 0.004365148 0.004394427 0.001917139 } average = 0.0036 round2 results = { 0.001903133 0.001894752 0.001913334 } average = 0.0019 averaged results show 1.89 times speedup on Mac OS X 10.8.3 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Loryn Jenkins -- Own the Future-Intelreg; Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.

Re: [Factor-talk] Speedup to math.functions round
