In general, arithmetics is much faster in pil64 than in pil32.
One reason is the more efficient implementation in assembly, where you
have direct access to the CPU fl
Hi,
I just noticed a surprisingly big difference in execution speed between 32- and
64-bit PicoLisp when doing divisions. Here is my code:
(setq R (reverse (range 2 18)) P (cons (apply * R) R))
(bench (do 120 (apply / P)))
The first line sets P to (6402373705728000 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 1
