After removing type checking and the "[SCRIPT] Number of rows: 5" print (because others didn't do it - it's supposed to be a fair test after all), here's what I got:
[USR] Total iterations: 200
[USR] Average for Flake: 21111 us
[USR] Average for Doom: 21637 us
[USR] Average for SLC: 21889 usI've noticed that the slowest part of this is
print, and am quite sure that if we do this with variables instead, we'll reduce the total time by a factor of 10 or something.
200 iterations took about 20 seconds on my PC.
After replacing all
print calls with an NOP instead, here is what I got (I used 500 iterations this time because it as a whole is much faster and this time the results aren't as reliable individually as they were before):
[USR] Total iterations: 500
[USR] Average for Flake: 307 us
[USR] Average for Doom: 308 us
[USR] Average for SLC: 326 usHaven't quite replaced print with variables - rather, with a NOP, but it's still a reduction of not by a factor of 10 like I was expecting but a factor of almost 100.
