Hi, I've been experimenting with a short test program under python 2.7
and python 3.4.2. It's a simple read from file, and locate a word therein.
I get the (subjective) impression that python2 is slightly faster than
python3. Is that correct? Is there any documentation to support this?
I believe that, overall, Python 3 is still slightly slower than Python 2,
but it's a near thing. Have a look at the latest performance benchmarks:
https://speed.python.org/comparison/
Eyeballing the graph, I estimate that the latest 3.x version is probably
about 10% slower overall, although different benchmarks show different
speeds.
Dumb question, and this probably isn't the place for it, but the three
Pythons being tested are:
64-bit CPython on Li... latest in branch '2.7'
64-bit CPython on Li... latest in branch '3.5'
64-bit CPython on Li... latest
I understand that the first two are the released 2.7 and 3.5 versions;
is the third the most recent 3.x build?
