Hello I dont know Rakudo on Mac, you built from source i assume? Maybe you want to show us the script, just in case?	[reply]

Yes, I built from source, make, make install, and so on. And the script is literally just `say "hello world";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It is definitely slower than Perl5 but I don't see it that slow, even on a PowerPC G4: `~/tmp/rakudo$ time ./perl6 -e 'say "Hello, World"' Hello, World real 0m2.923s user 0m2.274s sys 0m0.244s And for comparison, here is perl 5.8.8 on the same machine: ~/tmp/rakudo$ time perl -le 'print "Hello, World"' Hello, World real 0m0.012s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.008s` [download] -- John.

I concur with the others: something is seriously broken with your build of Rakudo. Does it still take so long if you try `parrot_install/bin/parrot perl6.pbc -e 'say "hello"'`, instead of using the `perl6` executable? Did you try both one-liner (`-e`) and a script? If you look at a CPU monitor, is the CPU actually 100% busy while running the script? Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hmmm `$ time perl6 -e "say 'Hello'" Hello real 1.00 user 0.00 sys 0.00 $ time perl6 -e "say 'Hello'" Hello real 2.00 user 0.00 sys 0.00` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry I've taken a while to come back to this thread. A while later, having rebooted a couple of times for unconnected reasons, all is well and the script runs fine.	[reply]
