I think a change to obmalloc is not going to get accepted unless we can show it doesn't hurt these micro-benchmarks. To displace the status quo, it has to give other advantages as well. I don't have any agenda or "problem to solve". After Tim made a PR to allow obmalloc to use larger pools, I thought it would be interesting to see if a arena mapping scheme based on radix trees should be performance competitive. I'm not proposing any changes to CPython at this point. I'm sharing the results of an experiment. I thought it was interesting. I guess you don't. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/6PZU7UYGG5VCZTC4PAYDDU456SS3YTGT/
