Re: [Haskell-beginners] Speed performance problem on Windows?

A little something I should have done before: Just compiled Don's C code (modified to my 32 bit laptop) with all flavors of precision. All the timings were similar: ~$ gcc bigmean.c -o bgC ~$ chmod +x bgC ~$ ./bgC 1000000000 ~$ time ./bgC 1000000000 500000000.067109 real 0m8.585s user 0m8.553s sys 0m0.000s So the time's I've been getting are approximating C speed quite well. There's still the difference between recursive and fusion code that haven't been able to gap...
