Re: [Pharo-dev] Can forking speed up anything?

Hi guys,

I have a script that runs very slow and does a lot of non dependent operation of a collection. I wander if I can speed it up by making it run in another process, because as far as I understand everything runs on a single thread, so I guess this won’t save me.

I don't think forking can speed up anything.

Usually the best solution is to profile your operation with the Profiler, then implement differently costly operations, either by removing object/block creations in smalltalk if this is possible, else by implementing costly operations in C and bind them like that: http://clementbera.wordpress.com/2013/06/19/optimizing-pharo-to-c-speed-with...
