Istvan Albert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Well I would strongly dispute that anyone other than the developers expected this. The release documentation states:
"The net result of the 3.0 generalizations is that Python 3.0 runs the pystone benchmark around 10% slower than Python 2.5." There is no indication of an order of magnitudes in read/write slowdown. I believe that this issue is extremely serious! IO is an essential part of a program, and today we live in the world of gigabytes of data. I am reading reports of even more severe io slowdowns than what I saw: http://bugs.python.org/issue4561 Java has had a hard time getting rid of the "it is very slow" stigma even after getting a JIT compiler, so there is a danger there for a lasting negative impression. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
