New submission from Sworddragon: On my system (Linux 64 Bit) I figured out that python 3 needs a little more memory than python 2 and it is a little bit slower. Here are some examples:
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ execution-time 'python2 -c print\("0"\)' 0.21738 sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ execution-time 'python2 -OO -c print\("0"\)' 0.22559 sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ execution-time 'python3 -c print\("0"\)' 0.37962 sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ execution-time 'python3 -OO -c print\("0"\)' 0.37825 Checking the memory usage after python 2 and python 3 are started in a terminal shows the following: python2: RES 4780 / SHR: 2212 python3: RES 6168 / SHR: 2660 ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 179435 nosy: Sworddragon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Enhancing performance and memory usage type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16908> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
