Hi,
I read nice things about Linux Mint the other day, and I wanted to give
it a quick run on my iMac, using the latest VirtualBox. Get it
(linuxmint-15-mate-dvd-64bit.iso) up a running was a breeze, and
installing it on a "hard disk" was quite like installing Mac OS X from
scratch. It also looks very clean and beautiful to me. The next thing I
wanted to try, was 64-bit PicoLisp, v3.1.3.12 (ongoing). No problem at
all. The only thing I miss when building 64-bit PicoLisp, is a message
at the end that says something like "64-bit pil built successfully".
Then I repeated the (bench (fibo 33)) I did in November last year, only
this time just using pil64 +. I'm quite surprised by the result:
0.310 sec
That's not bad on a VM! Maybe it's not that "virtual" after all? I must
say that Linux Mint + PicoLisp is a wonderful combination. ;-)

Yeah, interesting :)

If I try this on an x86-64 machine having all of them installed
(pil32,
pil64 and emu64), I get:
pil32: 0.89 sec
pil64: 0.42 sec
emu64: 12.3 sec
All quite similar (with the same result, 3524578).
I did also tests with the chess program, getting similar
relations. You
can let play it against itself, with e.g.:
$ time ./pil games/chess.l -main -'do 12 (msg (go))' -bye
A database stress, however, running 40 concurrent processes hammering
data into the database, showed a drop in speed for emu of only a
factor
of three. Here the bottleneck is in file I/O, locking etc.
Cheers,
- Alex
