[Caml-list] interesting array efficiency observations

[briand@aracnet.com]

I was investigating the use of 1-D bigarray's vs Array and noticed
 that the 1-D bigarray using c_layout seems to be slower than Array.

Is this an expected result ?

Thanks

let n = 10000 in
let a = Array.create n 2. in
  for i = 0 to n-1 do
    for j = 0 to n-1 do
      a.(j) <- sqrt(a.(j) *. a.(j));
    done;
  done;

(* test file for big arrays. *)

(* #load "bigarray.cma";; *)

let n = 10000 in
let a = Bigarray.Array1.create Bigarray.float64 Bigarray.c_layout n in

  for i = 0 to n-1 do
    for j =0 to n-1 do
      a.{j} <- sqrt(a.{j} *. a.{j});
    done
  done
