I had a test with ElfData.
The closest I can get to the perl version, is taking 72 seconds for
ElfData, but 52 seconds for perl.
I'm assuming my Mac is slower than Kem's ;) It's an old iMac G5.
I'm not going to publish the ElfData version yet, as it's a bit under
powered. I had hoped to beat perl, but obviously not. Still, the
ratio is better, I am at least around 3x faster than the ratio Kem
reported, even if not faster than perl.
I would suggest, that perl has some really amazingly well optimised
string functions or just a very good optimiser. I'm not sure what is
taking ElfData longer than perl, but I'd like to know!
Also, the ElfData version takes a lot more code than the perl
version, unfortunately. Still once again it is faster (ratio wise)
than results Kem suggested.
I'll see if I can guess what is slowing ElfData down, then publish my
version even if it slower than perl, tomorrow.
Through this testing, I did get some nice ideas on how I can speed up
ElfDataFields without making it harder to use, so that's a good thing.
