[Pythonmac-SIG] python 1.5.2c1 performance

[Maero Tasselli]

Hi,

I've read some comments about the degradation in performance for python
1.5.2c1 over 1.5.2b1.

I never used the beta version but, for those interested, here is the
pystone benchmark comparing version 1.5.1 and 1.5.2c1:


PowerMac 9600/MP 112MB/RAM MACOS/8.6


Python 1.5.1 (20MB RAM partition)

Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.73333
This machine benchmarks at 3658.54 pystones/second
>>>
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.7
This machine benchmarks at 3703.7 pystones/second
>>>
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.73333
This machine benchmarks at 3658.54 pystones/second
>>>
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.65
This machine benchmarks at 3773.58 pystones/second
>>>
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.76667
This machine benchmarks at 3614.46 pystones/second

Python 1.5.2c1 (20MB RAM partition)

Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 2.75
This machine benchmarks at 3636.36 pystones/second
