You're test code does 50,000,000 of list appends. I suspect your benchmark is telling you more about the behavior of large lists than the overhead of the futures module. You should retry that experiment with the list pre-allocated. Beyond that, the curve in that line is not exactly a large amount of variance from a straight line. -- Scott Dial sc...@scottdial.com scod...@cs.indiana.edu _______________________________________________ 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
