Hello,
I noticed the performance in one of my python scripts has really bad
performance, so I started profiling different sections of the script to find
out where the issue is. It turns out, the exception handle seems to add
the biggest chunk of time.
IronPython 2.6 and earlier rely on the .NET exception mechanism.
.NET's exception handling is extremely slow, whereas CPython has an
extremely fast exception handling system. I don't know the details of
why each is the way it is, though - engineering tradeoffs, I guess.
IronPython 2.7 will have a 'lightweight' exception mechanism that
should be closer to the performance of CPython.
I've fairly new to the Python language, so if
there is a better way to do what I'm doing, then please let me know.
Unfortunately, I think that's pretty much idiomatic Python, which
often relies on it's very fast exception handling. In .NET you use the
Try* methods instead, which don't throw exceptions.
If you don't need CPython compatibility, you could use
System.Double.TryParse
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/994c0zb1.aspx), but I don't
know how to use out parameters from IronPython off the top of my head.
out parameters are returned as extra values when you make the call. (So
you don't pass in the "out" parameter - but you get an extra return value.)

On an unrelated note, you can write your print statement as:
print "Total: %s RateGet: %s RateSets: %s Exception Handle: %s
Rate: %s" % (t.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds, rateGet, rateSet,
e.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds, Rate)
