If you can consistently replicate a 100% to 1000% slowdown in string
handling, please report it as a performance bug:
http://bugs.python.org/
Don't forget to report your operating system.
====================================================
For interest, I ran your code snippets on my laptop (Intel core-i7 1.8GHz)
running Windows 7 x64.
Running Python from a Windows command prompt, I got the following on Python
3.2.3 and 3.3 beta 2:
python33\python" -m timeit "('abc' * 1000).replace('c', 'de')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 39.3 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', '……')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 51.8 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', 'x…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 52 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', 'œ…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 50.3 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', '€…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 51.6 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('XYZ' * 1000).replace('X', 'éç')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 38.3 usec per loop
python33\python" -m timeit "('XYZ' * 1000).replace('Y', 'p?')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 50.3 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('abc' * 1000).replace('c', 'de')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.5 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', '……')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.7 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', 'x…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.8 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', 'œ…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('ab…' * 1000).replace('…', '€…')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.1 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('XYZ' * 1000).replace('X', 'éç')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.4 usec per loop
python32\python" -m timeit "('XYZ' * 1000).replace('Y', 'p?')"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.3 usec per loop
This is an average slowdown by a factor of close to 2.3 on 3.3 when compared
with 3.2.
I am not posting this to perpetuate this thread but simply to ask whether,
as you suggest, I should report this as a possible problem with the beta?
