I use Mathematica on Windows NT 4.0 and Pentium 100 processor. It takes
awfully lot of time to peform writing:
In[5]:=
$Version
Out[5]=
"Microsoft Windows 3.0 (October 6, 1996)"
In[2]:=
a=Table[i,{i,1001}];
In[3]:=
Timing[
filename="d:/test.ascii";
output=OpenWrite[filename];
Do[Write[output,a[[i]]];,{i,1,1001}]; Close[output];]
Out[3]=
{26.969 Second,Null}
almost 27 seconds????
Why????
