I don't normally use Psycho, and did not have it installed with my python2.4 installation. Whilst searching for something else however, I came across this simple language speed comparison: Ruby, Io, PHP, Python, Lua, Java, Haskell, and Plain C Fractal Benchmark by Erik Wrenholt and wondered...
So, twenty minutes later I had installed Psycho and with the addition of an inserted line three to Eriks Mandlebrot.py example of:
import psyco; psyco.full()
The run time went down from 4.6 to 1 second.
The exercise was really to remind me that Psycho is available.
Mainly Tech projects on Python and Electronic Design Automation.

hmm, i know for psycho, but i never used it. Maybe because my projects in python don't matter the speed so much.
ReplyDeleteWith psyco, performance of the graphics filters in pyl (https://www.pooryorick.com/secure/wiki/Pub/Pyl) improves by over 7000%. Of course, to get that kind of improvement, one has to code to psyco's strengths.
