Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: Here are the results from 32-bit x86 on core2 duo gcc 4.0.1 using pydigits_bestof.py 4000:
30-bit digits (14): 15719 ms 30-bit digits + optimizations (13+ops): 12490 ms unpatched py3k : 13289 ms (again, i had to manually add #define PYLONG_DIGIT_SIZE 30 to pyconfig.h for the longdigit13+optimizations patch). and pybench runs on the same builds vs unpatched: 30-bit digits (14): -1.4% (slightly slower) 30-bit digits + optimizations (13+ops): -0.2% (insignificant) My votes: Obviously use the optimized version (but fix the configure stuff). +0 for enabling it by default on 32bit builds. +10 for enabling it by default on 64bit builds. _______________________________________ 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
