Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Here is a benchmark ripped from the Computer Language Shootout (http://shootout.alioth.debian.org). Running "binary_trees.py 18" takes the following time: -> without patch: 330s. -> with patch: 201s. (40% speedup) -> with GC disabled : 165s.
Running pybench --with-gc doesn't show any performance variation, which seems to imply the overhead of the heuristic is negligible. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13332/binary-trees.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4688> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
