Collin Winter <coll...@gmail.com> added the comment: FYI, Unladen Swallow includes several regex benchmark suites: a port of V8's regex benchmarks (regex_v8); some of the regexes used when tuning the existing sre engine 7-8 years ago (regex_effbot); and a regex_compile benchmark that tests regex compilation time.
See http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/wiki/Benchmarks for more details, including how to check out and run the benchmark suite. You'll need to modify your experimental Python build to have "import re" import the proposed regex engine, rather than _sre. The benchmark command would look something like `./perf.py -r -b regex /control/python /experiment/python`, which will run all the regex benchmarks in rigorous mode. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about our benchmarks. I'd be very interested to see how the proposed regex engine performs on these tests. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
