Greetings! Just a followup here -- am getting GCL to work with gmp
4.2, here are the comparative times against your 'k function now:
(time (progn (setq a (si::factorial 100000) c 2) (= a c)))
real time : 0.250 secs
run-gbc time : 0.260 secs
child run time : 0.000 secs
gbc time : 0.000 secs
NIL
(time (progn (setq a (k 100000 1) c 2) (= a c)))
real time : 0.390 secs
run-gbc time : 0.390 secs
child run time : 0.000 secs
gbc time : 0.000 secs
NIL
Take care,
