[pypy-dev] pypy1.6 slow on string-heavy ops

[Andy]

Thanks Armin.

I dug around and found an email from you titled "Stacklets". Is that the new solution?

If I understand correctly, in this solution a greenlet could only be suspended and resumed once. But what if my greenlet needs to call multiple Web services or that it's a long running one? In those cases the greenlet will be blocked and resumed many times. How does PyPy handle that?

Hi Andy,

No, I think you are confusing two topics.  The existing Stackless
PyPy, which does no C stack manipulation, doesn't work with the JIT
without a lot of careful work.  This solution is deprecated now.  The
new solution, which does C stack manipulation, works with the JIT out
of the box.  Both solutions are "implementation details" only; you get
the same tasklet/greenlet API to work with.

Yes.  The next release is likely to be 1.6.1 soonish.


A bientôt,

Armin.
