Perhaps I was unclear. They were run as: wi...@unquote:~/src/guile/vm$ ./pre-inst-guile-env bash wi...@unquote:~/src/guile/vm$ time for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do libguile/.libs/lt-guile -c 1; done real 0m0.098s user 0m0.059s sys 0m0.026s I don't think there's overhead here. There certainly is if you time ./pre-inst-guile instead: wi...@unquote:~/src/guile/vm$ time for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do ./pre-inst-guile -c 1; done real 0m0.307s user 0m0.164s sys 0m0.120s Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
