Stefan Krah added the comment: It's instructive to run ./python Modules/_decimal/tests/bench.py (Hit Ctrl-C after the first cdecimal result, 5 repetitions or so).
fastint2.patch speeds up floats enormously and slows down decimal by 6%. fastint_alt.patch slows down float *and* decimal (5% or so). Overall the status quo isn't that bad, but I concede that float benchmarks like that are useful for PR. ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21955> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
