Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I've opened a separate issue (issue 4258) for the idea of using 30-bit long digits instead of 15-bit ones. I'll remove the patch from this issue.
Pernici Mario's idea applies even better to base 2**30 longs: one can clump together 16 (!) of the multiplications at once, essentially eliminating the overhead of shifts almost completely. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
