Code golf: stop two while loops with guaranteed iteration ratio

[Ben]

Timed loops makes this challenge trivial.

Target one each to two CPUs and specify the same start time ant their unique timing values.

IN the event either or both "Finish Late" an ay iteration, the Timed Loop will detect same.

Use queus to buffer the data.

Pre-write them with data before the loops start so they do not have to wait on memory allocations.

Pre-write your file to the proper size before the test starts so it does not have to wait for disk allocations. WHen done writting the file truncate the file to the actual length.

Also look at these suggestions.

In my situation, I've implemented that last three. If you haven't seen the sysinternals performance tools (contig and friends), then check them out 🙂 I cannot implement the first since the host only has a Pentium 4 processor :-S
