( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Doh! You're right of course, how silly not to notice it before - the break out test is completely stupid. (I guess in the back of my mind I must have thought the values were coming out in order - which of course they are not). It breaks out very early and that explains why it's so much faster.

If I change the test to >400000 (which gets me about 3/4 through the hash) then I get the following results...

Benchmark: timing 1000 iterations of each, keys...
      each:  2 wallclock secs ( 2.39 usr +  0.00 sys =  2.39 CPU) @ 418.41/s (n=1000)
      keys:  2 wallclock secs ( 2.23 usr +  0.00 sys =  2.23 CPU) @ 448.43/s (n=1000)
      Rate each keys
each 418/s   --  -7%
keys 448/s   7%   --

...so it looks like keys generally wins - because of the 'random' order that things come out, you can't tell how soon a loop test break you out of the loop.

Thanks tilly

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
