Jean Brouwers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here is one, simple comparison between 3 different builtin_sum's, all measured on the same machine, MacOS X 10.4.11 (Intel Duo):
1) Python 2.5.1 ActiveState with standard Slow Summation: % python2.5.1 -mtimeit --setup="x=[1.0e12, 7]*1000000" "sum(x)" 10 loops, best of 3: 177 msec per loop 2) Python 2.6a2 (built from source) with the existing Fast Summation: % python2.6a2 -mtimeit --setup="x=[1.0e12, 7]*1000000" "sum(x)" 10 loops, best of 3: 52.5 msec per loop 3) Python 2.5.2 (built from source) with the submitted Fast Summation: % python2.5.2 -mtimeit --setup="x=[1.0e12, 7]*1000000" "sum(x)" 10 loops, best of 3: 48.2 msec per loop __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2785> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
