Dart versus Dart snapshot fastest programs Always look at the source code. These are only the fastest programs. Look at the other programs. They may seem more-like a fair comparison to you. reverse-complement source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 255.89 1,159,448 885 293.58 13% 50% 22% 30% Dart snapshot 263.88 1,096,144 885 310.22 29% 26% 22% 42% fannkuch-redux source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 97.00 122,260 495 102.90 81% 3% 2% 20% Dart snapshot 97.23 33,928 495 106.89 96% 5% 3% 6% binary-trees source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 16.62 694,400 1349 45.44 79% 65% 76% 54% Dart snapshot 16.44 639,596 1349 45.36 82% 78% 59% 57% mandelbrot source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 21.09 183,592 911 58.37 44% 94% 41% 98% Dart snapshot 20.76 112,300 911 58.80 52% 42% 99% 91% spectral-norm source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 16.12 134,968 489 17.72 8% 98% 1% 3% Dart snapshot 15.78 33,760 489 16.81 100% 4% 3% 0% n-body source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 28.76 122,636 1409 30.80 95% 3% 9% 0% Dart snapshot 27.98 33,776 1409 30.80 16% 65% 27% 3% pidigits source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 11.28 193,884 500 12.43 97% 4% 7% 2% Dart snapshot 10.98 99,748 500 12.31 2% 7% 4% 99% regex-redux source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 8.79 924,316 1041 14.33 23% 29% 41% 71% Dart snapshot 8.45 830,864 1041 13.97 62% 46% 31% 26% fasta source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 9.52 161,376 1403 10.18 97% 6% 3% 1% Dart snapshot 9.13 98,468 1403 9.81 99% 3% 4% 1% k-nucleotide source secs mem gz busy cpu load Dart 35.87 570,028 1502 94.57 53% 71% 72% 68% Dart snapshot 22.31 368,676 1502 66.13 74% 70% 99% 53% Dart Dart VM version: 2.8.1 (stable) (Unknown timestamp) on "linux_x64" Dart snapshot Dart VM version: 2.8.1 (stable) (Unknown timestamp) on "linux_x64" --snapshot-kind=app-jit all Dart programs & measurements all Dart snapshot programs & measurements
