A 17% improvement on a micro-benchmark is not much. There will probably be no visible difference in real-world code. Also, if creating temporary PyUnicodes is not cheap, perhaps we could have a freelist for them? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14744> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
