New submission from S Safihre:
I have a Python 2.7 C-extension that was made for performance, however, I
noticed something strange on Windows:
When I run locally python setup.py install and it installs it the "egg" way,
the performance of calling the function in the module 500x in a loop is:
yEnc C New took 579 ms
yEnc C New took 580 ms
yEnc C New took 580 ms
But when I install it as a wheel locally or via pip without a single change to
the C-code, this is the result:
yEnc C New took 702 ms
yEnc C New took 694 ms
yEnc C New took 691 ms
That's a 10-15% difference. I also checked macOS and Ubuntu, here it does not
seem to be the case.
By investigating (https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1154) I found that
the difference is only that the "egg" way the module gets loaded via
imp.load_dynamic
I cannot test under Python 3, since the module is (not yet) converted to Python
3-style.
To reproduce run and look at the yEnc C New score between the 2 ways (on
Windows only of course):
git clone https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabyenc.git
cd sabyenc
python setup.py install
python .\tests\speed_compare.py; python .\tests\speed_compare.py;python
.\tests\speed_compare.py;
pip uninstall sabyenc -y
pip install sabyenc
# Or this:
# python setup.py install bdist_wheel
# pip install .\dist\sabyenc-3.3.1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
python .\tests\speed_compare.py; python .\tests\speed_compare.py;python
.\tests\speed_compare.py;
