Too slow to be practical? #21

Closed moon-chilled closed 5 years ago

moon-chilled commented 5 years ago

Hi. I don't know if this is deserving of an issue, but I tried to use it, and found it too slow to be practical. Running sha256 on 66kb file takes about 11 seconds; using the 'sha256sum' command, it takes less than a tenth. Other hashes are similarly slow

IMHO that makes it a good benchmark for Perl 6 performance.

I may add a performance warning in the README, though.
