That's true. However, I don't think that makes small optimizations worthless. For example, the core devs speed up memory allocation or method calls or whatever by a few percent, and consider it worthwhile, because it all adds up. > That said, it would be nice if you could get stable benchmark results > to validate that theory (or not!) ;-) Yep, I'm more than willing to accept that outcome if that's what the results show! :-) -Ben _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
