Has anybody noticed the speed of 'glob()' has decreased somewhere between v3.6 and v3.10. With this little test:
------------ import os, sys, timeit, glob # change to suite globPath = u'e:/net/*/*/*/*' def _glob(): glob.glob (globPath) # I used this 'https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/downloads/sync' def flush_disks(): sync = r"f:\ProgramFiler\Sysinternals\sync.exe -nobanner" print ("Exec sync: %s" % sync) os.system (sync) flush_disks() print ("Python %d.%d.%d:" % sys.version_info[:3]) print (" 1st run: %.5f" % timeit.timeit (_glob, number=1)) print (" 2nd run: %.5f" % timeit.timeit (_glob, number=1)) ------------ I got these results: Python 3.6.5: 1st run: 0.14694 2nd run: 0.09506 <- *always* the fastest Python 3.7.7: <- from Nuget 1st run: 0.12440 2nd run: 0.09602 Python 3.10.0: <- from Git repo 1st run: 0.15922 2nd run: 0.12424 'glob()' in Python 3.6.5 is consistently 30% faster on the 2nd run compared to 3.10.0. -- --gv -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
