The following is a simple test that compares the times it takes to traverse a long list with FOR loop in Vimscript and in Python 2.x:
"-----BEGIN------------------------------ let start = reltime() for i in range(1000000) endfor let time_vim = reltimestr(reltime(start)) let start = reltime() python << EOF for i in range(1000000): pass EOF let time_py = reltimestr(reltime(start)) echo 'Vim: ' time_vim echo 'Python:' time_py "-----END-------------------------------- The times I get (on an ancient computer): Vim: 9.2 +- 0.2 Python: 0.26 +- 0.01 The exact times vary depending on how the test is done, but Vimscript is invariably 30-45 times slower than Python. Why is there such a big difference in performance? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
