Apologies if I am making a mistake with my benchmarking here, but I am wondering why there is such a significant speed difference between using an annonymous function stored in a variable vs. stored in a function, as in the MWE below: function new_anon() f(a) = a -> (a^(a-1))/a end test1 = new…

Speed difference when storing annonymous function in variable vs. function

Because test1 is a non-const global variable (while test2 is a function).
