There were a whole load of pointless suggestions:
BTW It seems that using Math::BigFloat methods directly is
slighly faster then relying on overloaded operations:
timethese(1000, {
Methods => sub { Math::BigFloat->new(100)->fmul(Math::BigFloat->new(100)) },
Operations => sub { Math::BigFloat->new(100) * Math::BigFloat->new(100) },
});
Benchmark: timing 1000 iterations of Methods, Operations...
Methods: 2 wallclock secs
( 1.48 usr + 0.01 sys = 1.49 CPU)
@ 671.14/s (n=1000)
Operations: 1 wallclock secs
( 1.63 usr + 0.00 sys = 1.63 CPU)
@ 613.50/s (n=1000)
This guy just couldn't leave well enough alone:
Moreover using subroutine calls should be even more
faster. That is use Math::BigFloat::OP($num) instead of
$num->OP.
