== REXX Timingstimings ==
 
I created a file containing one line of about 1000000 characters containing words of 1 to 90 characters, randomly distributed such as
Line 276:
:::::* REXX version 2     1.05 seconds   (optimized by making the '''ow''' subroutine non-destructive)
:::::* REXX version 2     1.01 seconds   (optimized by making the '''ow''' subroutine in-line)
:::::* REXX version 2     0.97 seconds   (optimized the inner DO loop, eliminated an ''if'' statement)
The   '''lastpos'''   BIF was used to find the last blank (within a field of '''W''' characters instead of searching for the last blank character by character).
<br>Further optimization was done using &nbsp; '''parse''' &nbsp; instead of &nbsp; '''substr''' &nbsp; and other such thingys. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:39, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 
<br>I really have to stop optimizing that REXX program, I'm running out of coal. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:11, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
<br>Well, I ran out of coal ... can't stoke the fires anymore. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:31, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
