Oh, but that's wrong in general. Dave's *spinning loop* doesn't do much work per bytecode instruction, however ;) > The current settings mean we have less GIL overhead in the normal case, > but worse worst-case I/O latency. Actually, ccbench shows that worst case IO latency is much worse in 2.x (when executing bytecodes which do a lot of work, e.g. matching a regex). What happens though is that best case IO latency is better in 2.x (e.g. spinning loop, or short opcodes approaching the spinning loop case :-)). cheers Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
