To go back to the timing issue, I thought I'd try comparing the same algorithm across different interpreters on the same box (iMac Core 2 Duo 2GHz 3GB RAM running 10.5.5).
My version of Luther's TID="1" solution in AppleScript consistently takes 34 seconds, while my Perl take on the same idea runs just over 1 second. Only one solution was slower than the Applescript: bash takes about 50 seconds. (But the same script runs in 30 seconds or less in ksh and zsh.) Of course, a C version is much faster than anything else, clocking in at about 75 milliseconds.
Here's the results of what I tried OMM. All times in seconds.
c: 0.075perl: 1.149
python: 2.404ruby: 3.717
sbcl: 3.983js: 5.080
awk: 6.128tclsh: 6.934
rhino: 9.505clisp: 17.151
ksh: 26.163zsh: 30.365
osascript: 32.979bash: 48.124Happy to supply the code I used offlist to anyone interested... but I suspect I've far exceeded anyone else's interest in this. :)
