Re: [Caml-list] Strange slowness of input_line on mingw

["Yaron M. Minsky" <yminsky@CS.Cornell.EDU>]

I think the whole wc-connection is a bit of a distraction here.  It was
just a way of benchmarking the two implementations.  The basic issue is
that for some reason the same input_line based code is about 50-70 times
slower on mingw than it is on Linux.  I just wc as a way of making it
clear that the difference was not due to hardware differences between the
platforms.
That said, it might be useful to do something like what you suggest, since
it would make it clear whether input_line is the problem, or whether it's
a generalized problem with the i/o system.
