Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I've observed the generated assembly has fewer instructions on the critical path and that a register was freed-up. That's enough for me in this case (it's too easy to get trapped in local minimums in timing small changes like this).
Do either of you have a technical comment on the patch? If it isn't broken or seriously misguided, I will likely apply it shortly. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23259> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
