I read that WSL degrades crystal’s compiler speed by a lot. And also hinders it more with WSL IO issues. I made this little Benchmark script and would love for everyone to post their results. I know it’s not the best benchmark in the world, but I just needed something to spike up the CPU. If you are on WSL and have something different than a i7 2600, I would still love to see your results! ```auto require "json" AMOUNT = 2000000 JSON.parse( %({"web-app": { "servlet": [ { "servlet-name": "cofaxCDS", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.CDSServlet", "init-param": { "configGlossary:installationAt": "Philadelphia, PA", "configGlossary:adminEmail": "ksm@pobox.com", "configGlossary:poweredBy": "Cofax", "configGlossary:poweredByIcon": "/images/cofax.gif", "configGlossary:staticPath": "/content/static", "templateProcessorClass": "org.cofax.WysiwygTemplate", "templateLoaderClass": "org.cofax.FilesTemplateLoader", "templatePath": "templates", "templateOverridePath": "", "defaultListTemplate": "listTemplate.htm", "defaultFileTemplate": "articleTemplate.htm", "useJSP": false, "jspListTemplate": "listTemplate.jsp", "jspFileTemplate": "articleTemplate.jsp", "cachePackageTagsTrack": 200, "cachePackageTagsStore": 200, "cachePackageTagsRefresh": 60, "cacheTemplatesTrack": 100, "cacheTemplatesStore": 50, "cacheTemplatesRefresh": 15, "cachePagesTrack": 200, "cachePagesStore": 100, "cachePagesRefresh": 10, "cachePagesDirtyRead": 10, "searchEngineListTemplate": "forSearchEnginesList.htm", "searchEngineFileTemplate": "forSearchEngines.htm", "searchEngineRobotsDb": "WEB-INF/robots.db", "useDataStore": true, "dataStoreClass": "org.cofax.SqlDataStore", "redirectionClass": "org.cofax.SqlRedirection", "dataStoreName": "cofax", "dataStoreDriver": "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver", "dataStoreUrl": "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://LOCALHOST:1433;DatabaseName=goon", "dataStoreUser": "sa", "dataStorePassword": "dataStoreTestQuery", "dataStoreTestQuery": "SET NOCOUNT ON;select test='test';", "dataStoreLogFile": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/datastore.log", "dataStoreInitConns": 10, "dataStoreMaxConns": 100, "dataStoreConnUsageLimit": 100, "dataStoreLogLevel": "debug", "maxUrlLength": 500}}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxEmail", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.EmailServlet", "init-param": { "mailHost": "mail1", "mailHostOverride": "mail2"}}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxAdmin", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.AdminServlet"}, { "servlet-name": "fileServlet", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.FileServlet"}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxTools", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cms.CofaxToolsServlet", "init-param": { "templatePath": "toolstemplates/", "log": 1, "logLocation": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/CofaxTools.log", "logMaxSize": "", "dataLog": 1, "dataLogLocation": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/dataLog.log", "dataLogMaxSize": "", "removePageCache": "/content/admin/remove?cache=pages&id=", "removeTemplateCache": "/content/admin/remove?cache=templates&id=", "fileTransferFolder": "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/content/fileTransferFolder", "lookInContext": 1, "adminGroupID": 4, "betaServer": true}}], "servlet-mapping": { "cofaxCDS": "/", "cofaxEmail": "/cofaxutil/aemail/*", "cofaxAdmin": "/admin/*", "fileServlet": "/static/*", "cofaxTools": "/tools/*"}, "taglib": { "taglib-uri": "cofax.tld", "taglib-location": "/WEB-INF/tlds/cofax.tld"}}}) ) class Turkey property test = Hash(String, Int32).new def initialize AMOUNT.times do |x| test["muffin#{x}"] = x end AMOUNT.times do |x| test.delete "muffin#{x}" end end end Turkey.new ``` ### What to do next: - Save this file as **benchmark.cr** - Now run `time crystal benchmark.cr` * * * Please add your operating system and system specs as well.

Sometimes turning off the “windows defender” helps with disk intensive ops. Not sure if this is one of those however… 14s i5 2500 3.3GHz WSL ---
