I took your program ''as is'' and ran it on my isolated computer (no internet connection, no active anti-virus protection programs running, etc, it's a 3.20 GHz box and is running all four processors with five 100%-CPU-bound unrelated programs on below-normal priority), and the results are:

The answer to your question is: no, anything more than twenty hours is too long, the run takes long enough as it is.
ooRexx consumes too much virtual storage (which is just one of my concerns), and the big classic REXX program is always bumping into the 2G limit (this is for Regina REXX). What I mean is that the program frequently
Another thing to compare would be a REXX program that runs under (say) Regina REXX, and compare it to running under ooRexx (on the same hardward and operating system, of course). It would be an interesting comparison. Since ooRexx was originally (I think) written (coded) by IBM, I assume it has pretty high standards. I really don't know if IBM wrote the code or had it written elsewhere. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 05:58, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

==Ruby Golfing?==
It looks as if the last Ruby example is just a "Code golf" solution and is not idiomatic Ruby. If so then it probably shouldn't be on RC.
What do you think?<br>
--[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 09:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
It's pretty idiomatic (would add a couple more spaces and use full words instead of chars for variables), but I agree that it ventures closer to that realm. So, I deleted it.
I was comparing my solution to the "short local version" of the python code. I would argue that my one line of ruby code (which I pulled) is more idiomatic than the python code for the "short local version". The python code fails to use variable names (uses single char variable names), and it leaves a dangling filehandle in the way the file is opened (should use a with..as context manager). Also, given that python is at version 3.4, the use of 2.X print statement syntax is outdated (should be a print function). In other words, I think an argument could be made that my one liner is more idiomatic ruby than the python "short local version". Perhaps that one should be updated in a similar fashion? [I don't really care, I'm just bringing it up for the sake of consistency].

==No Dictionary?==
At this moment, the URL for the dictionary (http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt) is returning a 401. Is any action required to remedy this?
--[[User:Balrog|Balrog]] ([[User talk:Balrog|talk]]) 20:20, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
: Yes, it would be nice to have a (stable) version of the '''unixdict.txt''' stored somewhere on Rosetta Code, that way, any new computer programming examples would be consistent with those entered before the latest updates or changes that might have been made to the original (dictionary) file. Plus it would eliminate the possibility of any 401 and 404 errors, and the possibility of added cookies from the original host site mentioned above. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:50, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
::I started to look into it, but have to stop, myself. I got as far as [http://www.puzzlers.org/word-lists this page] which states that '''some''' of the lists may be open-source. If someone finds that we could site the list here then we might then try and get a copy re-hosted; but it would have to be the exact same page or saved as a latin_1 encoded text file. (We would not want a copy to cause problems with existing code).
:::I successfully accessed the wordlist using the "Wayback Machine" with this URL ==> https://web.archive.org/web/20180611003215/http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt
:::I'll edit that URL into the page. If that's a mistake feel free to back out my change.
