@chrispsn i got a very different timing for the original wc
- only 8.3s instead of 28s, and for k7 (the latest) i got 4.7s instead of 4s
hm... with ngn/k i get 2.979s for \t:100 ."\\wc big.txt"
unfortunately i can't run the same k function as it uses in
, but mine would probably be slower there
slightly lower timing for wc
- 2.928s if i eliminate the shell overhead by using my custom way to fork: \t:100 `x(("/usr/bin/wc";"big.txt");"")
