Hi all, I'm using python 2.6 in a windows xp box, when I try pystone, I get: C:\Python26\Lib\test>python pystone.py 500000 Pystone(1.1) time for 500000 passes = 5.93632 This machine benchmarks at 84227.3 pystones/second
C:\Python26\Lib\test>python -OO pystone.py 500000 Pystone(1.1) time for 500000 passes = 6.00515 This machine benchmarks at 83261.8 pystones/second I tried many times, and get the same result. Why optimization mode is slower than normal mode? -- Best Regards, Leo Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
