On: The Fastest FizzBuzz Implementation

[DeathArrow]

The most interesting thing is the C version is almost as fast as assembler version.

The most interesting thing is that it took one day to write the C version and several months for the assembly version, because the C version uses a simpler algorithm. Talk about diminishing returns. :)

And you could copy paste Python version from SO and have it running in less than a minute, so here’s the winner :)

[bonzini → pokepim]

If the Python version is 2000 times slower, the breakeven would be after a few terabytes of FizzBuzz.

[Qem → bonzini]

The Python version posted is about 85 MiB/sec, so only 600 times slower than the fastest one.

Ah, forgot about pypy!

Yes, but if you start the Python version and still have 5 minutes left from the day, the C version will overtake Python.
