Look again and re-assess. There is no exaggeration. Both tests set and reference the variable 1000 times each. The reason for including a loop inside the both benchmark subs is to amortise the cost of that subroutine call across the 1000 iterations of the code under test. Without it, the code would be benchmarking the calling of the benchmark sub, not the code under test. If the benchmark is not to your taste, then consider this. Setting and then referencing a single scalar value involves:
All in all, it is quite remarkable that the pointless OO code is only 7 1/2 times slower. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
