The table show 20!. I am far from being sure of my point, but in a first approximation: Loading a part of memory that is not cached (which will be the case for big lists) is around 300 cycles. An addition in a register is a few cycles, a jump is a few cycles too, at most, (the prediction will be good here).
Of course, it is only guess. And, if you really count the time to get through a line of cache adding one, it might not be negligeable in regard of the time to load cache, but I think it will have an impact. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
