Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Just tested the patch, here are some benchmarks:
./python -m timeit -s "a=100000000;b=777777" "a//b" -> 2.6: 0.253 usec per loop -> 3.1: 0.61 usec per loop -> 3.1 + patch: 0.331 usec per loop ./python -m timeit -s "a=100000000;b=777777" "a*b" -> 2.6: 0.431 usec per loop -> 3.1: 0.302 usec per loop -> 3.1 + patch: 0.225 usec per loop ./python -m timeit -s "a=100000000;b=777777" "a+b" -> 2.6: 0.173 usec per loop -> 3.1: 0.229 usec per loop -> 3.1 + patch: 0.217 usec per loop But it seems there are some outliers: ./python -m timeit -s "a=100000000**5+1;b=777777**3" "a//b" -> 2.6: 1.13 usec per loop -> 3.1: 1.12 usec per loop -> 3.1 + patch: 1.2 usec per loop ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
