a Dell laptop and a desktop. I compiled this message with ghc -O2 --make ex429.lhs and ran it on each machine. On the Dell I get:
136342232 ./ex429 8.66s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 8.695 total
When I run this exact same file on the desktop, I get:
98792821 ./ex429 6.50s user 0.03s system 99% cpu 6.537 total
Which happens to be the right answer. But WHY is the output from the Dell different?
(hardware description elided) You're missing one piece of information: do you have the 32-bit or the 64-bit ghc installed on each machine? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
