Well, any optimization is a matter of trade-off between memory and CPU. Last years, CPU are not really getting way faster (especially when you consider that Python is usually only able to use a single CPU thread), whereas computers are getting more and more RAM. > It should be tested on a number of systems too; any losses to cache > unfriendliness would be highly dependent on the size of the CPU cache. I prefer to no pay too much attention to assumptions on the hardware. I prefer to only trust benchmarks :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36127> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
