Hello,
Today I was doing some experiment with CPython and PyPy. I was very
impressed by the performance of PyPy, when it’s doing operations in user space,
it was almost 20 times faster than CPython.
Then I decided to switch our Python CLI to PyPy and I run one of our
major command in our CLI and results were worse than CPython. It got slower!
Then I started to research it more. Our CLI’s characteristic is that it calls
multiple other programs and read a lot of configuration data and create many
files which mean all of those operations were related to sys calls.
Then I run some simple test cases, tried to read and write millions of
lines to a file or create and kill multiple processes. All of these operations
were almost 5 times slower than CPython. I run my tests both MacOS and RHEL
with latest version of PyPy3.7
My question is that, is that something known? Or can it be some
improvement area that can be contributed?
Best,
Emre Yavuz
