[pypy-issue] [issue979] Pickle fails in pypy, works in CPython

[Andrew Kuchling]

Andrew Kuchling <amk at amk.ca> added the comment:

Ignore my previous idea of a problem with the dictionary iterator; it's just 
pickling many dictionaries with the same set of keys.  It seems like pickling 
works after all, but it's just much slower; for me it takes 18sec to pickle to a 
file, but 176 sec to pickle to a StringIO.  The resulting pickle output seems to 
exactly match the output that's written directly to a file, so I don't think 
there's an actual bug here, just some very bad performance in StringIO.write().
