[Webware-devel] Minor optimization to ObjectKey?

[Bill Bumgarner]

ObjectKey's __cmp__ is implemented as follows....

        def __cmp__(self, other):
                result = cmp(self._className, other._className)
                if result is 0:
                        result = cmp(self._serialNum, other._serialNum)
                return result
Reversing the cmp() order would likely be faster for two reasons:

- integer comparison faster than string comparison

- it is more likely that two serial numbers will differ than it is for 
two class names to differ

A completely untested optimize-first observation while reviewing the 
code....
