@ -9,4 +9,6 @@ EightBall v0.67 was tested, running on an Apple //e (1MHz 6502.)
- **Interpreter** - took 6 mins 12 sec from `run` to termination.
- **Compiler** - took 43 seconds from completion of loading bytecode until termination.
The compiler is achieving a speedup of 8.65 compared to the interpreter.
The compiler is achieving a speedup of 8.65 compared to the interpreter.
**Update** Tested with v0.68 which has some performance enhancements in the compiler and VM (to make cleaning up the call stack faster after function return). The compiled code now takes 41 seconds, a modest speedup. However this code does not do a lot of function call/return. Bigger improvements would be expected for more typical workloads.
