Raymond: > Why do we care about this particular import? It doesn't see slow in any way. I ran a benchmark: $ ./python -m perf command -o ref.json -v -- ./python -c 'import random' $ # apply patch $ ./python -m perf command -o patch.json -v -- ./python -c 'import random' $ ./python -m perf compare_to ref.json patch.json Mean +- std dev: [ref] 13.8 ms +- 0.2 ms -> [patch] 11.8 ms +- 0.2 ms: 1.18x faster (-15%) My PR 12728 makes Python startup 2 ms faster which I consider as quite significant on 13.8 ms. I know that some users are fighting to get a faster Python startup. Mercurial is just one example ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36559> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
