New submission from Antoine Pitrou <[email protected]>:
This is a bunch of assorted optimizations which make pickling of user-defined
classes quite a bit faster.
Example on a minimal instance:
$ python -m timeit -s "import pickle; import collections, __main__;
__main__.X=type('X', (), {}); x=X()" "pickle.dumps(x)"
-> before: 100000 loops, best of 3: 8.11 usec per loop
-> after: 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.95 usec per loop
Example on a namedtuple:
$ python -m timeit -s "import pickle; import collections, __main__;
__main__.X=collections.namedtuple('X', 'a'); x=X(5)" "pickle.dumps(x)"
-> before: 100000 loops, best of 3: 9.52 usec per loop
-> after: 100000 loops, best of 3: 3.78 usec per loop
Unladen Swallow's pickling benchmark:
### pickle ###
Min: 0.792903 -> 0.704288: 1.1258x faster
Avg: 0.796241 -> 0.706073: 1.1277x faster
Significant (t=39.374217)
Stddev: 0.00410 -> 0.00307: 1.3342x smaller
