 Step 1 : Are the Groovy programs faster? At a glance.

This chart shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest Groovy program used compared to the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

Look at speed another way - look at a box plot of Time-used data.

 Step 2 : Are the Groovy programs faster? Approximately.

This table shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest Groovy program used compared to the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

Groovy used what fraction? used how many times more?
Benchmark	Time	Memory	Code
nsieve	7×	4×	±
n-body	44×	11×	±

Groovy used what fraction? used how many times more?
Time-used	|-	|---	25%	median	75%	---|	-|
(CPU secs)	7×	7×	7×	25×	44×	44×	44×

± read the measurements and then read the program source code.

 Step 3 : Are the Groovy programs faster? Measurements.

This table shows 5 measurements - CPU Time, Elapsed Time, Memory, Code and ≈ CPU Load ~ speed and size.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest Groovy program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

 Step 4 : Are there other Groovy programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest Groovy and Zonnon Mono programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for Groovy.

Maybe one of those other Groovy programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.

 Step 5 : Are there other faster programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest Groovy and Zonnon Mono programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are faster implementations of these benchmark programs for other programming languages.
