* How fast is Cygwin Perl compared with AS Perl?
well, you can find an extensive comparison here:
AS Perl
and Cygwin Perl.
Cygperl is overall 26% slower and uses 18% more memory,
but there are some noticeable points:
- Cygperl does have an enormous startup cost compared to AS Perl (cfr. hello)
- Cygperl seems to be faster when there's STDIN input to process
(cfr. moments, spellcheck, sumcol, wc).
- on the echo test, which involves fork and sockets, Cygperl took 100 seconds
with 10000 connections, while AS Perl took less than 2 seconds!
- if we exclude hello and strcat (for which there's a difference of only
0.09 seconds, but which makes more than 100% slower), Cygperl is 0.94% faster
than AS Perl.
cheers,
Aldo

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
