Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here are some timings, on winXP, vs2008 release build:
# t.py def f(l=range(5000)): for x in l: pass # before the patch > python -m timeit -s "from t import f" "f()" 10000 loops, best of 3: 159 usec per loop # after the patch > python -m timeit -s "from t import f" "f()" 10000 loops, best of 3: 160 usec per loop and these figures are pretty stable on my machine. Is it too much to pay? Some may consider that potential crashes are more expensive. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
