Ooooh, I see. I didn't measure the performance of the right header. I re-run a benchmark using the HTTP header (repeat=15): header = 'Basic ' + ', ' * 15 + 'A' Now I see a major performance difference. Comparison between master ("ref") and PR 18284 ("fix"): Mean +- std dev: [ref] 88.9 ms +- 2.4 ms -> [fix] 17.5 us +- 0.7 us: 5083.23x faster (-100%) So the worst case is now way faster: more than 5000x faster! It's even possible to go up to repeat=10**6 characters, it still takes less than 1 seconds: 412 ms +- 19 ms. On the master branch, repeat=20 already takes around 3 seconds... The slowdown is exponential with repeat increase. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39503> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
