Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: There seems to be a problem with the patch: when you store the getvalue() result somewhere (instead of discarding it), things get much slower:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import io; n=2000; d=[b'a'*n,b'bb'*n,b'ccc'*n]*1000" "s=io.BytesIO(); w=s.write" "for x in d: w(x)" "s.getvalue()" 1000 loops, best of 3: 913 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "import io; n=2000; d=[b'a'*n,b'bb'*n,b'ccc'*n]*1000" "s=io.BytesIO(); w=s.write" "for x in d: w(x)" "global y; y = s.getvalue()" 100 loops, best of 3: 4.67 msec per loop This does not happen without the patch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15381> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
