Hi, every experts:
Recently I'm trying to move my old project from python to pypy. In the
past, I have do some optimizations for python interpreter. One Important thing
is modify python default integer object cache range(default is from -5 to 257),
my config is -100 to 1024 * 1024, this range covers most of the my app
logics. The benchmark shows that it saves a lot of memory , and speedup the
program(mainly benefits from avoiding large amount of creating intobject and
releasing intobject) .
BUT, in pypy, I found the withprebuiltint option is set off default. While I
tried open this option and add translateoption : --prebuiltintfrom -5
--prebuiltintfrom 1048576, the benchmark shows that it saves memory(OK, it's
expected), BUT the speed is SLOWER.
I check the pypy sourcecode, but I have not find out the problem so far. So,
my doubt is: why withprebuiltint option is off default? Maybe the performance
is a problem as known?

###mem test is expected, no problem
