Subject: Speed of rc
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1993 15:50:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9304071550.aa10315@ceres.srg.af.mil> (raw)
When running commands or scripts it seems that rc often takes longer
than it should, especially compared to sh or ksh. I also seem to
remember seeing something in comp.unix.shell within the last couple of
months, about the relative speed of various shells, which showed rc as
being substantially slower. What this leads me to wonder is, if anyone
has ever bothered to do any serious timing tests or profile rc and find
out where it's spending its time?
I raised this issue with Byron once, but he had bigger fish to fry at
the time. (and rightly so) However the shell has been stable for quite
a while, and it might be well worth exploring, especially now that a
version 1.5 is being considered.
Tom
