[Chicken-users] system load with chicken

[Joerg F. Wittenberger]

Hello all,

I'm just getting to work with chicken, porting quite a lot of code
(Askemos).  Thereby I made a decision, which is probably not
desirable: I used the pregexp package entensively.  As a result, the
parser which uses it is unusable slow.  OK, I'll replace it; *but* how
does it come that the system load is close to zero, when the
parser/pregexp is active?

It looks as if I'm watching an idle system for 12 seconds to parse
1310 bytes.

Anything I could have done wrong?

thanks

/Jörg
