RE: [MacPerl] MacPERL Performace vs. Intel Class systems

I will bet that the CPU yielding is a big part of the answer.
I also wonder if this IO is going through GUSI, and if that
is adding any cost (like an additional buffer copy?).

SO... the File System isn't the bottleneck.  Next, it could be the checking for COMMAND-PERIOD, or calls to the system routine that allows multi-tasking.  These can and do take a lot of additional cycles.  Perhaps they could be called less frequently.  How often are they called now?  Every statement?  Perhaps calling them once per second would be sufficient.
