( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
on my machine for this, I get:
C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{$ +_}1..1e6;say time-$t;" 12.703125
which I think is similar to: my @array = map A, map B, LIST; I am actually surprised that on a large 64 bit machine running some kind of *nix, that there are any page faults at all. I mean why does the "simple" version page fault? Sorry, I don't know.

Update: oh I see that this is Windows, I presume Win 7 instead of Vista? There are a bunch of versions of this OS, that might matter.

more tests on my 32 bit Win XP Pro machine 2 GB memory, AS 5.10.1:

C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..100e3;say time-$t;" 0.193822860717773 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..200e3;say time-$t;" 0.609375 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..300e3;say time-$t;" 1.28125 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..100e3;say time-$t;" 0.18930196762085 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..250e3;say time-$t;" 0.921875 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..500e3;say time-$t;" 3.375 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..1000e3;say time-$t;" 13.15625 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{ +$_}1..2000e3;say time-$t;" 50.140625

Another "benchmark update":
C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=1..16000e3;s +ay time-$t;" 1.5 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}1..16 +000e3;say time-$t;" 5.546875 C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{$ +_}1..16000e3;say time-$t;" 3173.625
The maps above essentially don't do anything useful at all, but this shows the exponential increase in execution time on my 32 bit Win machine. So, I don't think this is specific to 64 bit machines. Apparently map uses more memory than one would think for a "do nothing" operation and also that Perl winds up accessing this extra memory in a way that causes a lot of page faults which would indicate that Perl is not cycling through sequential memory locations. Why that is and how that works, I don't know yet. But at least I can say this happens on 32 bit machines also.

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
