[pypy-issue] [issue1052] pypy slower

[Armin Rigo]

Armin Rigo <armin.rigo at gmail.com> added the comment:

A major hit for pypy is that it needs to compile a new regexp pattern every time
chkFunc() is called.  With the following change:


def chkFunc(lstFD, func ):
    mFunc= "WXNET_EXPORT\\(.*\\)(?:\r\n)? *([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)\\("
    for fd in lstFD:
        for i in re.finditer(mFunc, fd ):
          if i.group(1) == func:
            #...sequel unchanged...

then it becomes twice faster than CPython (and produces the same result).  I
know that it's still a problem, but I pointed it out as a quick workaround and
as a direction towards future work in pypy.
