The vector-foldright-benchmark from cb372

vector-foldright-benchmark's Introduction

Benchmarking balanced fold vs foldRight on Vector.

Variables

Size of vector: 2^20 vs 2^30 elements
Cost of the fold operation: finding the minimum of a Vector of ints (cheap) vs concatenating a Vector of strings (expensive)
Implementation: the standard collection lib's foldRight, vs 2 implementations of balancedFold (a naive one and a more performant one)
