Thanks to optimization works on delegate invocation, IronPython now runs faster on Mono. Conservatively, you can expect 5% speedup for 1.1, and 10% speedup for 2.0a1.
Look forward to Mono 1.2.5! * * * Here are some pystone results. All results are best of 3. Mono stable = Debian packaged Mono 1.2.4-3 Mono SVN = Default build of Mono SVN revision 78485 Workstation = Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz Laptop = Intel Pentium 4 Mobile CPU 1.70GHz 1.1 = IronPython Community Edition r6 2.0a1 = IronPython 2.0 Alpha 1 with patches (see below) stable/workstation/1.1: 44134 svn/workstation/1.1: 46736 (+6%) stable/laptop/1.1: 28624 svn/laptop/1.1: 31187 (+9%) Mono stable can't run IronPython 2.0a1. I only have results for Mono as of May 17, from chat logs. That's why numbers are approximate. I will refer to this version as "may". may/workstation/2.0a1: "32800" svn/workstation/2.0a1: 36362 (+11%) may/laptop/2.0a1: "21K" svn/laptop/2.0a1: 23354 (+11%) * * * patches to 2.0a1 are here: https://fepy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fepy/trunk/patches/2.0a1/ Only following patches were applied: patch-makefile patch-initialize-builtins patch-console patch-flags-argcount * * * Thanks to Mono team for a nice work. Thanks to IronPython team for a hint and encouraging the competition. :-) http://lists.ironpython.com/pipermail/users-ironpython.com/2007-May/004921.html * * * For the curious, here are some details: Statically dispatch virtual calls to sealed classes or methods. (Rodrigo Kumpera) http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-patches/2007-May/093027.html mini-trampolines.c: Complete rewrite. On first call, try to create optimized invoke code and use that for further invocations.
