Thanks for confirming that, Matthias. Testing with GCC 4.8 seemed to yield (mostly) better results. I put the data into a Google Sheet:
https://goo.gl/9gW82j Out of the 10 pyperformance tests: * 3 tests were actually faster with python compiled w/gcc-4.8 * 4 tests were slightly slower (but within 5%) * 3 tests were ~ 20-25% slower Overall, these numbers look quite a bit better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638695 Title: Python 2.7.12 performance regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1638695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
