What compiler settings did you use, and which version? I just tried it and
while it's a lot faster than the first Nim version it still takes almost twice
as much time as the Ada and C++ versions on my machine (.283 and .276 seconds,
respectively, vs. .547 for main_fast.nim). I used
nim c -d:release main_fast.nim
with nim 0.18.0, as well as
nim c -d:release --opt:speed main_fast.nim
which doesn't seem to make much difference (except perhaps slow it down a
little). This was on a MacBook Pro; haven't tried it on Linux yet.
