Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org> added the comment:
Timings for individual instructions are a bit meaningless, as out-of-order execution and speculation on modern CPUs makes it hard to pin down the timing of anything. I did an experiment to double the number of instructions. It slowed things down by ~10%, so increasing the number of instructions by 1% would be expected to result in a slowdown of 0.1%. In other words, this is going to make little or no difference to performance. It does make things cleaner and simpler though, which has its own benefits. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
