Win32 Core2Duo 1.8GHz 1GB RAM 17 Mb total memory in use MUT time 56.97s ( 57.02s elapsed) %GC time 0.5%
Win32 Core2Duo 2.2GHz 2GB RAM 17 Mb total memory in use MUT time 57.44s ( 57.53s elapsed) %GC time 0.7% (0.8% elapsed)
So, despite the CPU being 25% faster, it's exactly as fast. Memory bound?
Win32 P4 2.8GHz 1GB RAM 17 Mb total memory in use MUT time 171.64s (175.78s elapsed) %GC time 1.7% (1.5% elapsed)
You're doing divisions, and I seem to remember division being an operation that wreaked havoc with the P4's ALU or trace cache, or something like that.
Linux64 Core2Duo 2.2GHz 2GB RAM 41 MB total memory in use (1 MB lost due to fragmentation) MUT time 68.26s ( 68.92s elapsed) %GC time 0.9% (1.1% elapsed)
Linux32 Core2Duo 2.3GHz 4GB RAM 17 Mb total memory in use MUT time 51.77s ( 51.83s elapsed) %GC time 0.5% (0.6% elapsed)
Interesting that Linux32 is actually faster than Win32. Different cache sizes? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
