Need Help??

in reply to Re: Re: "switch$ia" (Russ: Useless Benchmarking again)
in thread "switch$ia" but don't interpolate trailing "a"

<sheepish grin>
hehehe You're probably right.

So, in the spirit of further useless benchmarking:

use Benchmark;

timethese( 10000000, {
  5 => sub {my $R = 5;},
  6 => sub {my $R = 6;}
});
[download]

results in:

    5:  6 wallclock secs ( 6.61 usr + -0.03 sys =  6.58 CPU) @ 1519756
+.84/s
    6:  6 wallclock secs ( 5.89 usr +  0.08 sys =  5.97 CPU) @ 1675041
+.88/s

As you can see, it is slightly faster to assign a 6 than a 5, so I will use 6's more often from now on... :-)
