I knew this question was coming! :) Well, maybe you are right. The
problem is that the function foo() involves much stuff, including disk
I/O operations, so measuring its performance is quite tricky, you get
different result on each test, depending on the available memory, disk
busyness etc. It's hard to make a clean experiment. Generally, the
foo() needs to be as fast as possible, because it is already long
lasting. I have been optimizing foo() before, and now I need to make
only a small change (choose x or y), and I am lazy to bother with
profiling again, I just wanted to make the most optimal possible thing
up front. Maybe it's just nit-picking... But I became curious if the
above idea would be feasible at all!
Thanks Graham!
