[Ocaml-lib-devel] Efficiency studies of enums?

[Christian S. <ext...@cs...>]

Hi extlibbers,

Here's a question which came to my mind a long time ago when I first
looked at the implementation of extlib's enums:

    What are the measurable benefits of the lazy enum construct compared
    against the naive alternative of building intermediate data
    structures?

I haven't seen any performance measurements.  Obviously, it's a good
idea for really big arrays/lists, but what should be considered "really
big" in this context?

Anyway, just curious,
Chris
