Stefan Krah added the comment: I think for fast access we need a hybrid solution that allows static types (heap types slowed down _decimal) *and* cache the thread local values (like it's currently done for the thread-local context in _decimal).
Caching the context brought an enormous speedup (about 20%). I'm not sure if all that can be done in a general API, but it's clearly the fastest way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24553> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
