Ok, let's try 30bit_longdigit14.patch:
patch -p0 < 30bit_longdigit14.patch
autoconf && autoheader
./configure && make
I'm using two computers:
- marge: Pentium4, 32 bits, 3 GHz (32 bits)
- lisa: Core Quad (Q9300), 64 bits, 2.5 GHz (64 bits)
Both uses 32 bits digit (and 64 bits twodigits), py3k trunk and Linux.
* My bench_int.py:
- 32-bit without patch: 1670.7 ms
- 32-bit with patch: 1547.8 ms (+7.4%)
- 64-bit without patch: 885.2 ms
- 64-bit with patch: 627.1 ms (+29.2%)
* pidigits 2000 (I removed the calls to print):
lowest result on 5 runs:
- 32-bit without patch: 2991.5 ms
- 32-bit with patch: 3445.4 ms (-15.2%) SLOWER!
- 64-bit without patch: 1949.9 ms
- 64-bit with patch: 973.0 ms (+50.1%)
* pybench.py (minimum total)
- 32-bit without patch: 9209 ms
- 32-bit with patch:
- 64-bit without patch: 4430 ms
- 64-bit with patch: 4330 ms (=)
pybench details:

On 64 bits, all integer related tests are faster. On 32 bits, some
tests are slower.
Sum up: on 64 bits, your patch is between cool (30%) and awesome
(50%) :-) On 32 bits, it's not a good idea to use 32 bits digit
because it's a little bit slower.
=> I would suggest to use 2^30 base only if sizeof(long)>=8 (64 bits
CPU).
Note: I already get similar result (2^30 is slower on 32 bits CPU) in
older tests.
