Hi srinivas, I wrote this simple benchmark to measure comparisons:
import random from xheapimport RemovalHeap class X(object): c =0 def __init__(self, x): self.x = x def __lt__(self, other): X.c +=1 return self.x < other.x n =100000 for jjin range(5): items = [X(i)for iin range(n)] random.shuffle(items) heap = RemovalHeap(items) random.shuffle(items) for i in items: heap.remove(i) print(X.c) X.c =0 old version: 430457 430810 430657 429971 430583 your pull request version: 426414 426045 425437 425528 425522 Can we do better here?
