Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Release of ECLiPSe 6.0

Hello,

bad news for you. I have a program which runs 27 seconds slower with eclipse prolog 6...

5.10.145: 57 seconds
6.0.43: 84 seconds

I have attached the pl File.

Start tkeclipse, turn off debug compile in the global settings, compile my file and then start it with "test."

Greetings!

Martin
