I don't know what benchmarks were used to write dictnotes.txt, but moving forward I would recommend implementing your changes on trunk (i.e., Python 2.x) and running the Unladen Swallow Benchmarks, which you can get from the link below: http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/wiki/Benchmarks They are macro-benchmarks on real applications. You will probably also want to write some micro-benchmarks of your own so that you can pinpoint any bottlenecks in your code and determine where you are ahead of the current dict implementation and where you are behind. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC <http://stutzbachenterprises.com>
