[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Ran some benchmark numbers:

$ ./python -m timeit -s "from pprint import saferepr; s='é\"x' * 1000" "saferepr(s)"
-> before patch: 555 usec per loop
-> after patch: 10.9 usec per loop

$ ./python -m timeit -s "from pprint import saferepr; s='xxx' * 1000" "saferepr(s)"
-> before patch: 290 usec per loop
-> after patch: 8.68 usec per loop
