NAME

Runops::Optimized - Optimized run loop

SYNOPSIS

use Runops::Optimized;

or

export PERL5OPT=-mRunops::Optimized

DESCRIPTION

This is an experimental runloop for perl >= 5.14. It replaces the core perl runloop defined in run.c with a version that unrolls the operations into assembly. This could be a tiny bit faster depending on your CPU.

Please don't use this unless you wish to help development, the main reason it is on CPAN is to get CPAN testers reports.

Some ideas come from Reini Urban's Jit module.

Additional inspiration from many sources, particularly LuaJIT, although obviously this is no match for that.
