Hi all,

I have been comparing manually built identical phrases (a dyadic verb with its arguments) and executing it with ". or `:6. My understanding was that the advantage of atomic representation was that it bypassed parsing and that the execution model was:

input string -> parsing -> atomic representation -> interpretation -> result

However, I was surprised to see no speedup at all when transitioning from string to atomic representation. Of course, my particular code may be the issue. What are the usual strengths and weaknesses of string vs. atomic representation?

Thanks!

Raoul
