Re: start up delay?

Are you using a 32 bit version of perl6? If so it has no Just in Time (JIT) compiler and will be very much slower. S On Wed, 1 Aug 2018 at 19:15, ToddAndMargo wrote: > > Hi All, > > Is it just me or does Perl 6 take about three times as long to > start up as Perl 5? I do have a very fast

Re: start up delay?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 If you're writing a runnable script in Perl 6, I would recommend to *always* use a MAIN sub[1]. If you're using that, you can easily achieve the precompilation as well, with 1 line of code less. You'd have your code in lib/Your/Program/Main.pm6:

Re: start up delay?

So Perl6 is a lot like Python in that modules get compiled to byte code making them a lot faster to parse the second time around. If you're running a 6000 line script then a lot of time is going to be spent parsing your script every time you run it. If you instead take all your script code and

Re: start up delay?

Have you tried running with --stagestats which gives you a break down of where the time is being spent? On thing is if you are running large script files it came take a while. Moving your code into modules, which get precompiled can give a significant speed boost. On Sun, 5 Aug 2018, 23:45

Re: start up delay?

One thing you can do, depending on your code, is to put most of your code in subroutines, put them in a module, and 'use' it in your main script. The module gets precompiled the first time you execute the program, and the overall program should be faster after the first go. The 'zef' program

Re: start up delay?

Yes, I agree, start-up time is sometimes quite long. But sorry, I do not have a solution. Best, Laurent. 2018-08-01 20:14 GMT+02:00 ToddAndMargo : > Hi All, > > Is it just me or does Perl 6 take about three times as long to > start up as Perl 5? I do have a very fast machine and it takes >

start up delay?

Hi All, Is it just me or does Perl 6 take about three times as long to start up as Perl 5? I do have a very fast machine and it takes about seven see for some of my Perl 6 stuff to get past the ruminating phase and start running. Any workaround for this, or is this just growing pains for Perl
