Re: [Caml-list] Loop times

["Daniel M. Albro" <albro@humnet.ucla.edu>]

OK, I did this test, but first after making the thing
compatible with the other tests I did.  (That is, the
j loop should be 0 to 9 (or some other number less than
12 and greater than 4).  The first version (once
again, after changing the j loop to 0 to 9) takes

real    0m34.033s
user    0m34.030s
sys     0m0.000s

and Fabrice's version (with 0 to 9) takes

real    0m28.086s
user    0m28.080s
sys     0m0.000s

so it is definitely a win.
