That's odd. The actual code I wrote is: (defn diagonal-sum-4 [n-max] (let [cores (.availableProcessors (Runtime/getRuntime)) step (* 2 cores)] (inc (reduce + (map deref (doall (map #(future (diagonal-sum-4a n-max % step)) (take cores (iterate #(+ 2 %) 0))))))))) and it's about a 5x slowdown. I don't know how that post got altered before it went out and after I wrote it. Sorry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
