Hi everybody, I am trying to figure out what could be the best solution to tokenize really big files like 1GB or 1TB. I just came across Ragel and I wrote a really dummy benchmark. You can see it here: http://pastebin.com/7rdyBWNS
It does nothing except going through the file looking for the next 'a'. On my laptop this code need 4586ms to go through 100MB. I would like to ask you all if I made any mistakes on the parser (it's my first time with ragel) and if you know any way to improve its performance. ps: Just as comparison java is able to "just read" that file in 700ms while a stupid but hand-made parser can do it's job in 2300ms Thanks for in advance. -- :: Diego Giorgini - @ogeidix
