Neil Hodgson added the comment: Looking at the assembler output from gcc 4.7 on Linux shows that it specialises the loop 9 times - once for each pair of kinds. This is why there was far less slow-down on Linux.
Explicitly writing out the 9 loops is inelegant and would make accurate maintenance more difficult. There may be some way to use the preprocessor to do this cleanly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17615> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
