Stefan Krah added the comment: On the i7 machine with hyper-threading the issue occurs since edb9ce3a6c2e.
The tests also got slower: 3430d7329a3b: $ time ./python -m test -uall -v test_threaded_import real 0m3.195s user 0m0.656s sys 0m0.284s edb9ce3a6c2e: $ time ./python -m test -uall -v test_threaded_import real 0m24.032s user 0m0.880s sys 0m0.744s Here most of the time is spent in test_parallel_meta_path. DISCLAIMER: This machine runs Debian Wheezy, which is not stable yet! On the other hand the Windows bot also reproduced the issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15781> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
