Re: [Gretl-users] When Julia is faster than C and Gretl

Just my 2 cents,
Even without experimenting, I raise the question of different speeds for
the random generators (like randgen1).
Well, the speed of the RNG is part of the language in a sense. But I
think you're right that one should control for the _quality_ of the
resulting random numbers. Because a bad RNG could be much faster than a
good one. However, somehow I doubt that Julia has a bad RNG (but I don't
know).
total time (suspect that JIT will increase setup time).
Yes, that is why the the jit-version of python takes 0.17s for 10^6, but
only 0.48s for 10^7, so less than 3 times longer for 10 times more stuff
to do. So it's already in there. Today's jits technology is really quite
remarkable.
