Hi, I just ran this simple code with the Unicon and Icon systems on a Sun Solaris 9 machine:
# Timing test: Unicon vs. Icon procedure main() local L, L2, x L := [] every 1 to 100000 do put(L, ?0) L2 := [] every x := !L do put(L2, x^2) end
The results of the "time" command were surprising:
Icon:
real 0m0.304s user 0m0.280s sys 0m0.020s
Unicon:
real 0m0.606s user 0m0.560s sys 0m0.040s
So Icon appears to be twice as fast as Unicon!
The reason I did this little experiment is that I have a large program, in two
almost equivalent versions, one Icon and one Unicon, and I discovered that the
Icon version ran 2-3 times faster than the Unicon version.
Rather discouraging...
