Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: And here is an experimental patch which enables the "priority requests" mechanism which was in the original new GIL patch. "Experimental" because it only enables them on a couple of socket methods (enough to affect the benchmarks).
Here are the UDP benchmark results (with 2 background threads): * 2.x trunk (old GIL): 11.379 seconds (921515.168 bytes/sec) * vanilla py3k (new GIL): 27.400 seconds (382689.529 bytes/sec) * patched py3k (new GIL + priority requests): 1.828 seconds (5737130.676 bytes/sec) And here's patched py3k with 8 background threads: 3.058 seconds (3429136.193 bytes/sec) (benchmarks run on a 8-core Linux machine) ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16317/gilprio.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
