Just to chip in here... when TEMPLATE_DEBUG=True the template engine uses a substantially different Lexer, based on re.finditer() instead of re.split().
There are about 10 hooks in the Parser class, too, that exist almost exclusively to allow the DebugParser to change behavior. If we always store the debug information [and do all the other parsing checks] it's likely the template parsing will become _faster_, just because of avoiding method calls. For giggles, I'll run up a fork and see if I can get some meaningful results from Preston's very welcome template benchmark tool. -- Curtis On 17 February 2015 at 16:03, Preston Timmons <prestontimm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here are some benchmarks I added here: > > https://github.com/prestontimmons/templatebench > > This is the cumulative time to do 1000 iterations: > > Basic.do_init: 0.1423451900 > BasicDebug.do_init: 0.1941769123 > 35% increase in parsing time > > Basic.do_parse_complex: 1.2230978012 > BasicDebug.do_parse_complex: 1.4190740585 > 15.5% increase in parsing time > > FileSystem.do_get_template_complex: 1.4923889637 > FileSystemDebug.do_get_template_complex: 1.7524909973 > 17.4% increase in parsing time > > FileSystem.do_get_template_index: 0.5193221569 > FileSystemDebug.do_get_template_index: 0.5603711605 > 9.8% increase > > If my benchmarks are right, the increase is measurable, although probably > not enough to notice in most usage of Django templates.
