What's it all about, Alfie?

Today I was spending a little time moving another of my little projects to GitPod, and I was amazed at the execution speed I was seeing, compared to my 2019 decked-out 16" MacBook Pro. I mean Wow! On my MacBook Pro, the test ran in:

  $ make test
  ./quip 'Fict O ncc bivteclnbklzn O lcpji ukl pt vzglcddp' -kb=t -fwords
  [31967 us] Solution: When I see thunderstorms I reach for an umbrella

which isn't bad... 31.9 msec. About what I get on the ObjC code as well. And when I ran it on the GitPod instance:

  gitpod /workspace/Quip $ make test
  ./quip 'Fict O ncc bivteclnbklzn O lcpji ukl pt vzglcddp' -kb=t -fwords
  [26967 us] Solution: When I see thunderstorms I reach for an umbrella

So the instances they are fronting are at least as good, if not better, in single-core performance, than my recent MacBook Pro. That's impressive. Another good reason to look at doing a little more coding remotely.
