This performance test is wrong or the system cache is working with exceptional performance?
This is my result :
[13] number of interactions 100000 : 63 milliseconds
[14] number of interactions 100000 : 139 milliseconds
[12] number of interactions 100000 : 47 milliseconds
[15] number of interactions 100000 : 44 milliseconds
End of test.
