Some Performance Hints
Here are some pieces of information how to tweak CHICKEN for maximum performance. Note that only few applications are worth this hacking.
- Build CHICKEN with OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED=1 as argument to make
- Tweak the garbage collector knows according to the profile of your application. There are not strict rules for that. You have to try and see what works best for your case. Check the runtime options section in the manual for more information on that.
- See the Programming for Performance page for information on how to optimize your CHICKEN programs.
