It appears to be those "<=" and "+" operations in the code above where much of the time is spent. When I trace out the execution paths a bit more, I'll have a better picture of how many lines of C code are involved in each iteration.
The path from decoding a bytecode to the C code that implements it can be rather convoluted, but there are reasons for each of the complications -- mainly to do with supporting the ability to override operators with C and/or Python code. If you removed those abilities, the implemention would be simpler, and possibly faster. But then the language wouldn't be Python any more. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
