Thanks! > Does this idea apply to the encode function as well? Probably, although with less efficiency (a long can hold 1, 2 or 4 unicode characters depending on the build). The unrolling part also applies to simple codecs such as latin1. Unrolling PyUnicode_DecodeLatin1 a bit (4 copies per iteration) makes it twice faster on non-tiny strings. I'll experiment with utf16. _______________________________________ 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
