I suspect temperature can have an impact on performance if Turbo is enabled (or, as you noticed, if CPU cooling is deficient). Note that tweaking a system for benchmarking (disabling Turbo, disabling ASLR, etc.) may make the results more reproducible, but it may also make them less representative of real-world conditions (because few people disable Turbo or ASLR, except precisely on benchmarking machines :-)). It's a delicate balancing act! Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Speed mailing list Speed@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/speed
