@boud@framapiaf.org Both significantly shorter than 26 seconds for the GPT4all solution on my laptop CPU. Do you have a point besides "Internal bash operators are obviously faster than a pipe to bc, because they don't have to load a binary and spawn a subshell for the other process to pipe data into"? Because I know that already and decided the difference is irrelevant for that specific purpose. @Alison@beige.party
