Interlocked functions are *much* faster than Win32 mutex/semaphores in the uncontended case. It only doubles the time taken for a "l.acquire(); l.release()" loop in Python code, but at the C level it is probably 10 times slower. Do you really want the GIL to be 10 times slower in the uncontended case? ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
