I was getting about 1.5s for the Haskell program and about 0.08s for
the C one with the same n=10,000,000.
I'm sure we can do better than that!
That's the spirit! :-D
Speaking of which [yes, I'm going to totally hijack this thread now...],
does anybody have a Haskell MD5 hash implementation that goes fast?
IIRC, I found one in MissingH, and it worked great. Except that as soon
as you feed it a 10 MB file, the standard Unix "md5sum" executable takes
about 0.001s to do it, and the Haskell version goes crazy and starts
eating virtual memory like candy. o_O (Although given a few minutes it
*does* produce the correct answer. But given that I want to run it over
an entire CD......)
Given the choise, I'd *like* to find a fast 100% Haskell implementation
- but failing that, (nice) bindings to a fast C implementation will do I
guess. (I *only* need to compute MD5 hashes for files on disk. I don't
need to do anything more fancy than that...)
