[Icfp04-discuss] simulator speed

[Jeff Franklin]

Just curious, how long does it take your simulators to run through 100000 
iterations?  It's taking mine about 2 hours (on a P4 3GHz), so I've just been 
running through 5000 or 10000 and seeing how it does, which only takes about 
10 or 20 minutes (respectively).  Is this normal?  Does everyones simulator 
run this slow?  All my map/ant lookups are O(1), and I have all the C++ 
compiler optimizations on (-O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer), and I 
turned off all the output.

Thanks,
-Jeff
