Hello all,
since my latest benchmark for PEP 580 [1] involved SageMath, which is
quite a big project, I instead propose a much simpler benchmark
involving mistune.
mistune [2] is a Markdown parser implemented in the Python language. It
optionally allows Cython compilation. It doesn't use any kind of
optimization beyond that, but I created a branch [3] to use extension
types instead of Python classes.
Cython can either use built-in functions/methods or a custom class
(which is not optimized but which would be optimized with PEP 580).
I benchmarked mistune with custom classes [3] (binding=True, the
default) and with built-in functions/methods [4] (binding=False). This
is the median time of 5 runs:
Binding=True: 9.063s
Binding=False: 8.658s
So this shows again that PEP 580 improves performance in actual
real-world use cases.
Jeroen.
