Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: By the way, I'd be interested to know if you (Trevor) have any thoughts on the multiplication optimizations that are in the patch
30bit_longdigit13+optimizations.patch in the issue 4258 discussion. These have been giving me some quite spectacular speedups (4 or 5 times faster) for multiplication on 64-bit machines; smaller speedups on 32-bit. Currently, those speedups render your earlier special-case-squaring patch obsolete; I wonder whether there's a way to get the same speedup for squaring. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue936813> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
