Summary
| Description |
Hamilton C shell and Cygwin bash recursion under Windows 7. Shows the contrasting language styles and relative performance of Hamilton C shell and Cygwin bash factoring a number using recursive shell scripts. The elapsed time using the compiled Cygwin binary to do the factoring is also shown for comparison. Timing a recursive shell procedure or function factoring a large number is a test of how fast the shell is able to evaluate simple expressions and interpret its language constructs, especially for iteration and condition-testing. Since there are no child processes being spawned and only three lines of output are generated, the time spent in system calls is quite small. In this example, the compiled Cygwin binary factored 1234123412 in 0.082 seconds. Bash required 1.778 seconds. Hamilton C shell required 0.1 seconds, making it nearly as fast as the compiled binary and roughly 18x as fast as bash. System configuration:
