It is difficult to come to any sensible conclusion when
more than one thing is varied. Anyway:
- It is known that applying functions to larger chunks
is faster than applying to smaller chunks, because
any overhead is amortized over a greater number
of elements.
- It is known that boxed arrays take longer because
something has to be done on small chunks.
- It is known that comparing expressions that
are not equivalent is usually futile.

I don't know what this means, so can not solve it.
