Given those facts I think including pybench is a mistake. It does not allow for a fair or meaningful comparison between implementations which is one of the things the suite is supposed to be used for in the future.
This easily leads to misinterpretation of the results from this particular benchmark and it negatively affects the performance data as a whole. The same applies to several Unladen Swallow microbenchmarks such as bm_call_method_*, bm_call_simple and bm_unpack_sequence. _______________________________________________ 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
