Confirming the microoptimization here with a non-debug (opt) build: ~/oss/cpython$ sre-before/python -m timeit -s "import re; s = (b'~' * 1000000); f = re.compile(b'\s\w\d').search" "f(s)" 20 loops, best of 5: 11 msec per loop ~/oss/cpython$ sre-after/python -m timeit -s "import re; s = (b'~' * 1000000); f = re.compile(b'\s\w\d').search" "f(s)" 20 loops, best of 5: 10.1 msec per loop Those results are consistent across reruns. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
