As mentioned, those micro benchmark are more helpful in identifying performance regressions than macro benchmarks, esp. when you find that a macro benchmark is showing issues. When you find that a macro benchmark isn't performing well anymore, it's very difficult understanding the cause and micro benchmarks help identify the reasons. So instead of removing them, I'd suggest to add them back to the suite or have them run in a separate suite, specifically called "micro benchmarks" to address you concern about people misinterpreting them. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Oct 15 2020) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Support ... https://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Product Development ... https://consulting.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
