Nope, because the remaining issues with the new GIL affect the old GIL as well, and have yet to be proven to affect real world apps. My server is the only real world example I have seen and the modest 5% slow down it experiences on the new GIL & multi-core vs new GIL & single core can potentially be explained by other issues. The old GIL has a 25 to 30% slowdown on multi vs single core so over all the new GIL gives my server a 20% speed boost. Incremental upgrades to core functionality like the GIL is the better way to go then to try an optimize every facet of it before hand, because some of those optimizations may have unintended side effects in real world apps and if you attempt all the optimizations at once it makes it harder to figure out which is the cause of the unintended side effects. _______________________________________________ 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
