in thread When would you choose foreach instead of map?

I am gonna go out on a limb and wildly speculate that if one of them uses 96MB and the tests are accurate, it was *map*, based on the whole 'side-effect' thingy. If true, this re-emphasizes the original point that this is the one (non-preference-based) difference.

    As always, don't take my word for it, do your own test. All the (two lines) of the (two lines) of the code is there. The only instrumentation required is a <STDIN>; to prevent the processes from exiting and top/task manager.

    Is this the "'side effect' thingy"? I guess you could classify it that way:)
