Having quickly glanced through the avalanche of proposed solutions I did
not see following one.(if there was I apologize for claiming it as my
own):
Count[w - RotateLeft[w], 1]
According to my comparisons it is the fastest so far (the one that I
sent originally is one of the slowest)
In[1]:=
w=Table[Random[Integer],{200000}];
In[2]:=
Count[Partition[w,2,1],{1,0}]//Timing
Out[2]=
{0.86 Second,50131}
In[3]:=
Count[Drop[w,-1]-Drop[w,1],1]//Timing
Out[3]=
{0.34 Second,50131}
In[5]:=
Count[w-RotateLeft[w],1]//Timing
Out[5]=
{0.29 Second,50131}
