Raymond, can you kindly point to an application that demonstrates this claim (in particular the "a lot more" part, which I'd translate to "more than 20% more"). I'm fine with reverting changes, but I agree that any benchmarking performed should be repeatable, and public. I agree it's sad to see a month worth of benchmarking reverted - but had that benchmarking been documented publicly, rather than just reporting the outcome, such reversal might have been avoided. > Dicts get their efficiency from sparseness. > Reducing the mindict size from 8 to 4 causes > substantially more collisions in small dicts > and gets closer to a linear search of a small tuple. Why do you think the dictsize has been reduced from 8 to 4? It has not.
