I don't think it's worth doing this for low-level and highly
artificial benchmarks like the ones run by pybench.
Opcode statistics are much better taken in real life applications,
e.g. let Django, Zope, etc. run for a day or two and then look
at the opcode statistics.
If at all, then opcode statistics should be an optional feature
enabled by a command line switch. I'd then create new methods
bench.start_opcode_stats(), bench.stop_opcode_stats() and
bench.get_opcode_stats().
Also note that this line will result in wrong results:
+ if opstats:
+ opstats = [new - old
+ for new, old in zip(sys.getdxp(), opstats)]
It should be:
start_opstats = sys.getdxp()
...
stop_opstats = sys.getdxp()
opstats = [new_value - old_value
for new_value, old_value in zip(stop_opstats, start_opstats]
