Re^2: Doing perl efficiently

If only... Unless your code can make use of multiple cores, its not any faster than on a 2004ish machine :(.

We ought to be up near 15Ghz by now, and where's my flying car?

My fairly new machine is much faster than my 2004 rig, even running on one thread. More megaHz, more pipelining, 64-bit OS, and faster RAM. Not to mention faster HD, being a SSD, and more RAM so less swapping in the first place. Gotta be careful though. My first attempt melted down when I ran Prime95 at 4.2GHz. Lousy "open-box" deal... but that's why we test, right? I know per-thread it's faster than stuff put together in 2007 and 2008, which is my direct comparison. And that was a lot faster than what came before it.	[reply]
