New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:
This patch makes importlib's _FileFinder more than 10x faster by keeping a
cache of directory entries. It's actually faster than imp.find_module()!
-> imp.find_module:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import imp" "imp.find_module('logging', None)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 69.9 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import imp" "imp.find_module('bisect', None)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 108 usec per loop
-> unpatched importlib:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from importlib._bootstrap import _DefaultPathFinder as
Finder" "Finder.find_module('logging', None)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 431 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from importlib._bootstrap import _DefaultPathFinder as
Finder" "Finder.find_module('bisect', None)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 468 usec per loop
-> patched importlib:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from importlib._bootstrap import _DefaultPathFinder as
Finder" "Finder.find_module('logging', None)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 37.5 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from importlib._bootstrap import _DefaultPathFinder as
Finder" "Finder.find_module('bisect', None)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 36.9 usec per loop
