New submission from Justin Peel <pee...@gmail.com>: Attached small diff speeds up extracting a gzipped tarball on my machine using python 3.2 by 3-5%. It will probably be a larger percentage on machines that have faster hard drives (mine is 5400rpm).
Basically, the changes speed up calculating the checksums by only doing one slice rather than four and call struct.unpack twice rather than four times. We are able to use less unpack calls because 'x' means to skip a byte. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: cpython_tarfile.diff keywords: patch messages: 144436 nosy: jpeel priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [PATCH] small speed-up for tarfile.py when unzipping tarballs versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23229/cpython_tarfile.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13031> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
