[issue2607] why is (default)dict so slow on tuples???
Andreas Eisele [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Great, that really solves my problem. Thank you so much, Amaury! As you say, the problem is unrelated to dicts, and I observe it also when including the tuples to a set or keeping them in lists. Perhaps your GC thresholds would be better default values than what is currently in force. __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2607 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue2607] why is (default)dict so slow on tuples???
Andreas Eisele [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Sorry for not giving a good example in the first place. The problem seems to appear only in the presence of sufficiently many distinct tuples. Then I see performance that looks rather like O(n*n) Here is an example that shows the problem: from time import clock d = {} t0 = clock() for i in range(5): for j in range(i*100,(i+1)*100): d[str(j),str(j)]=j print clock()-t0 13.04 39.51 81.86 134.18 206.66 The same example with str(j)+str(j) works fine. Sorry if this should be a non-issue. For me it is a reason to implement functionality in C or Perl that I would really love to do in Python. I would call such a thing a performance bug, but maybe I'm just too demanding...

[issue1521] string.decode() fails on long strings
Andreas Eisele added the comment: How do you run the test? Do you specify a maximum available size? I naively assumed that running make test from the toplevel would be clever about finding plausible parameters. However, it runs the bigmem tests in a minimalistic way, skipping essentially all interesting bits. Thanks for the hints on giving the maximal available size explicitly, which work in principle, but make testing rather slow. Also, if the encode/decode test are decorated with @bigmemtest(minsize=_2G*2+2, memuse=3) one needs to specify at least -M 15g, otherwise the tests are still skipped. No wonder that people do not normally run them... __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1521 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1521] string.decode() fails on long strings
Andreas Eisele added the comment: Tried @bigmemtest(minsize=_2G*2+2, memuse=3) but no change; the test is done only once with a small size (5147). Apparently something does not work as expected here. I'm trying this with 2.6 (Revision 59231). __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1521 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Andreas Eisele added the comment: Thanks a lot for the patch, which indeed seems to solve the issue. Alas, the extended test code still does not catch the problem, at least in my installation. Someone with a better understanding of how these tests work and with access to a 64bit machine should still have a look. __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1521 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Andreas Eisele added the comment: Then 7G is enough for the test to run. yes, indeed, thanks for pointing this out. It runs and detects an ERROR, and after applying your patch it succeeds.
