I did some performance comparisons with various compilers and the resulting Python 2.6a2 and pybench.
I put the details on http://www.in-nomine.org/2008/04/11/python-26a2-execution-times-with-various-compilers/ Of course, take benchmark results with a grain of salt, but it seems ICC can provide people with an added performance edge when using Python. In short: I measured a speedup between ~21%-29% with ICC compared to GCC. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ I was searching through the Heavens and somehow I slipped... _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
