A couple of minor comments: - “The UTF-8 decoding fast path for ASCII only characters was removed and replaced with a memcpy if the entire string is ASCII.” The fast path would still be useful for mostly-ASCII strings, which are extremely common (unless UTF-8 has become a no-op?). - You could trim the debug results from the benchmark results, this may make them more readable. - You could try to run stringbench, which can be found at http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/stringbench (*) and there's iobench (the text mode benchmarks) in the Tools/iobench directory. (*) (yes, apparently we forgot to convert this one to Mercurial) Regards 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
