Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Very nice! It seems that you can get slightly faster by not copying the initial char first: 's' is often already aligned at the beginning of the string, but not after the first copy... Attached patch (utf8decode4.patch) changes this and may enter the fast loop on the first character.
Does this idea apply to the encode function as well? ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12650/utf8decode4.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4868> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
