REBOL/BASE testing

 [1/11] from: rebol-list2::seznam::cz at: 12-Oct-2002 19:38


Hello rebol-list, I've finally found some time to test the Rebol/base... I choosed one of my cgi scripts and set the Rebol/base as the interpreter, I had to add decode-cgi function to this script to make it working and run this simple test:
>> t: now/time/precise loop 1000 [read http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/system/poc3.r?i=rur-tes] t2: now/time/precise - t
== 0:00:36.552
>> t: now/time/precise loop 1000 [read http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/system/poc.r?i=rur-tes] t2: now/time/precise - t
== 0:01:11.342 As you can see the Rebol/BASE is almost 3 times faster. It really worhts to rewrite some of the server-side scripts to be runable with it:-)) PS: I'm now thinking about some way how to find and import the missing functions into the Rebol/Base from Core, do you have any ideas?

Yes, wait for the probably free FastCGI protocol from DocKimbel - it will be 10 times faster at least ;-) -pekr-

Hi, Why do you think it is faster? Is it because it loads faster being a smaller binary? How about execution speed? Is it unchanged? I'm certainly prepared to rewrite if execution is faster, but not so prepared if it just reflects loading times for a script that might run a few times a day only. -- Graham Chiu

i would rewrite a lot of them, if only rebol/base was available for linux/unix. -- Best regards, Andreas mailto:[andreas--bolka--gmx--net]

Hi Graham, << Why do you think it is faster? Is it because it loads faster being a smaller binary? >> Per Carl S., things like network protocols can take a bit of time to load, along with lots of other functions you may not need. So you add back in only the pieces that you're using and eliminate the load time of all the stuff you're not. Nothing else should change, performance wise, I imagine. The size of the binary should have very little to do with it. --Gregg

Will that run on any REBOL installation? ./Jason

Citeren RebOldes <[rebol-list2--seznam--cz]>: Hi reboldes, Just out of currio.. What is rebol/base?? Seems im always missing the latest news flashes... :-) (R)egards, Norman.

Hi Norman, << Just out of currio.. What is rebol/base?? >> Carl S. posted it a couple weeks ago. It's basically a stripped down version or Core that is designed to boot faster for CGI use and use less memory for small devices (< 600K base memory footprint). It's available at http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/ if you want to try it out. --Gregg

As far as I'm aware, it is not really released - it is an Alpha version meant for testing. Brett.

I hope so ... it will be just it - rebol script - no additional libraries. Once released, Rebol community finally gets PHP competitor, as whatever speed-up Base offers you, it still uses CGI environment, while Fast-CGI protocol will let your Rebol process in memory, so it does not need to be started once again with new request. MySQL and PostgresQL drivers are also encouraging .... -pekr-
