Why is any Java/Clojure program slowed down when run from Leiningen? -


while benchmarking clojure app , trying pin down performance problems, noticed peculiar behavior: when entire program written in java, when launched leiningen seems experience significant slowdown.

say have java program:

public class foo {     public static void main(string[] args) throws exception {         (int = 0; < 10; i++)              run();     }      public static void run() {         final long start = system.nanotime();          random r = new random();         double x = 0;         for(int i=0; i<50000000; i++)             x += r.nextdouble();          final long time = timeunit.milliseconds.convert(system.nanotime() - start, timeunit.nanoseconds);         system.out.println("time (ms): " + time + " total: " + x);     } }

when run program, execution times (per run) of 1s. however, when run leiningen so:

lein run -m foo

i run times of 2s! how clojure/leiningen manage slow down complete java program much? doing wrong?

i've tried examining system properties in both runs , couldn't find glaring (like different jit settings). in both cases use java 7 server compiler.

edit: don't know why question has been downvoted. i'm not against clojure. on contrary, love clojure , i'm going use it. have serious performance problem absolutely must solve.

update: running lein trampoline solves issue! (though have no idea why) i've updated question reflect indeed leiningen issue, not clojure issue.

another update: happens clojure code well. running without trampoline slows down code 5x.

it's due different jit behaviour.

the performance of jit compiled can affected number of things, including:

  • what startup code gets called, affect jit statistics
  • what other classes have been loaded (e.g. other subclasses of random) affect compiler's optimisation of method call dispatch

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...

keyboard - Smiles and long press feature in Android -

i've created android keyboard. how add features inserting smilies, , using long keypresses display symbols? to create long-press behavior allows select several options pop-up menu, follow guide (specifically pop-up menu section): http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html smileys (also known emoticons) combination of keys, understood programs , parsed same way. have do, when clicks smiley face on keyboard, simulate pressing of key combination matching emoticon. example, when clicks smiley, should simulate key presses ':' , ')' :). here's list of emoticons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_emoticons
