Hi! I was looking at the performance impacts of parameters for use in a language project and ran into some odd performance characteristics: accessing struct constructors through a parameterize-introduced binding appears… --- ## [Implementing a 2d point with pairs vs. flvectors vs. structs vs. complex, a primitive benchmark](https://racket.discourse.group/t/implementing-a-2d-point-with-pairs-vs-flvectors-vs-structs-vs-complex-a-primitive-benchmark/3274)

Recently had a thought experiment since I'm making a 2d game, which is heavy on numerical manipulation of 2d points. \[I'm using Chez Scheme for the game, but that's not too relevant to this post\]. The question was, the… --- ## [Performance comparison between (append (reverse a) b)) and (foldl cons b a))](https://racket.discourse.group/t/performance-comparison-between-append-reverse-a-b-and-foldl-cons-b-a/2903)

I have the following code example. I am wondering if method1 is slower than method2? I want to write a benchmark program, but I don't have any prior experience in this. #lang racket (define (method1 a b) (append (rev… --- ## [Performance of Racket Pict Comparison](https://racket.discourse.group/t/performance-of-racket-pict-comparison/2735)

Hello everyone, I am a beginner who has just started learning Racket. I am conducting some experiments with Typed Racket, and I have written the following code: #lang typed/racket (: benchmark-vector (-\> Integer Intege… --- ## [Why is plot slower with unicode symbols in ticks?](https://racket.discourse.group/t/why-is-plot-slower-with-unicode-symbols-in-ticks/1611)

I have some plot code for dice statistics (unfinished). It seems from some observations that using unicode characters in the y-axis ticks makes the plot nearly unresponsive. Conversely, using ASCII-only characters has no… --- ## [Racket set performance](https://racket.discourse.group/t/racket-set-performance/479)

I ported a Python version of Advent of Code Day 25 to this Racket version , and I was surprised by what appears to be the relatively poor performance of Racket's set implementation. The Python version runs in about 1.5 … --- ## [Performance optimizations (by Typed Racket, or otherwise)](https://racket.discourse.group/t/performance-optimizations-by-typed-racket-or-otherwise/350)

In the Racket Slack someone asked whether the optimizations by Typed Racket can be done from standard Racket. The answer was "yes", since Typed Racket is just a library. :slight\_smile: This made me curious. What kind of…
