green_threads

[Moritz Lenz]

Hi all,

I've tested rakudo on top of the green_threads branch.
The good news is that all tests pass.
The bad news is that the first (and so far only) benchmark I've tried is 
slower than on master.

As a benchmark I used 
https://raw.github.com/colomon/mandelbrot/master/bin/mandelbrot-color.pl 
with command line argument 201

Analyzing script and raw results can be found at 
https://gist.github.com/1312199

The output is:
Original: 33.965 ± 0.0858943537143158
Patched:  36.1474 ± 0.0471445436927753
Patched version is slower than the original by 6.43%, signficance 23.2σ

(here "patched" refers to green_threads commit 
RELEASE_3_9_0-110-g807df71 and "original" to master commit 
RELEASE_3_9_0-50-gec17023)

Cheers,
Moritz
