Tim, do you have any thoughts on this? In the past, there was an implicit red-line that we would not cross even if a performance improvement was possible. Given that that was a long time ago and that the newer devs are both more aggressive and more fearless, we ought to re-examine whether the red-line should be made explicit or whether it no longer applies. For this particular patch, a source of discomfort is that the optimization step takes longer (due to multiple passes). So, we sometimes get faster wordcode but that time it takes to get there is longer. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37271> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
