Collin Winter <coll...@gmail.com> added the comment: I tried making this work early last year as part of Unladen Swallow, and even though I got it working and it does speed up certain builtin calls, it didn't move overall application performance at all. I believe this was due to cache effects, branch mispredicts or something else. Based on that experience, I don't believe this is really worth pursuing on its own.
That said, something like this is included in Unladen Swallow, which uses it to make direct calls to certain C functions. I'm going to close this accordingly. ---------- resolution: -> later status: open -> closed type: feature request -> performance _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1107887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
