As noted above, it not reasonable for a C-API that isn't used internally because there is no reasonable way to measure the effect without writing a C extension. FWIW, I look at assembly to see direct evidence for the effect of a change. It makes it easy to see how many memory accesses happen on a given path. If you're going to be in the optimization business, I really wish you would read some of the basics in the field so that each and every technique doesn't have to be re-proved to you each time it used. Here's a short-list I put together for those who were interested : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3967849/sftalk/_build/html/misc.html#optimization-resources ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26201> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
