On my computer, the name lookup is almost a quarter of the time to build a set: [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset" 10000000 loops, best of 5: 24.4 nsec per loop [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}" 2000000 loops, best of 5: 110 nsec per loop and about 10% of the total time: [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset({1, 2, 3, 4, 5})" 1000000 loops, best of 5: 237 nsec per loop If I use a tuple instead of the set, it is about 12% of the total time: [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset((1, 2, 3, 4, 5))" 2000000 loops, best of 5: 193 nsec per loop So not negligible. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/YL2DW3GDYQZS4HEOIUG6T25HAUL3DGAQ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
