Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: For the record, this seems to make large allocations slower:
-> with patch: $ ./python -m timeit "b'x'*200000" 10000 loops, best of 3: 27.2 usec per loop -> without patch: $ ./python -m timeit "b'x'*200000" 100000 loops, best of 3: 7.4 usec per loop Not sure we should care, though. It's still very fast.
