  • Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

    ...about a factor of 2, by exploiting that about half the digit products are duplicates in a square. Because exponentiation uses squaring often, this also speeds long power. For example, the time to compute 17**1000000 dropped from about 14 seconds to 9 on my box due to this much. The cutoff for Karatsuba multiplication was raised, since gradeschool multiplication got quicker, and the cutoff was aggressively small regardless. The exponentiation algorithm was switched from right-to-left to left-...
