Ok, I can agree with that - I don't see how that changes the results. Changed to -3. 

             Rate   IRS_map     Split IRS_while
IRS_map    9659/s        --      -26%      -28%
Split     13017/s       35%        --       -3%
IRS_while 13379/s       39%        3%        --

Considering that a lot of time is in I/O (open and readline), I wonder if the differences between our results are due more to I/O characteristics on our systems than to the algorithm itself.
