[erlang-questions] map over bitstring

[Morten Krogh]

Kostis,

I followed your suggestion and compiled it to native code with erlc 
+native zip2.erl, which improves the runtime for
both methods.

The run times are, for a 100 MB binary, and the map function X -> X + 1 
hard coded into the module and into the map method itself (which is not 
quite realistic):

Not native:

comprehension :     10 s
my own bit syntax function : 14s

native:

comprehension: 3.7 s
my own bit syntax function: 6 s

So, yes native is an improvement!

Morten.
