- XXX: Does caching the argument tuple provides any real performance benefits?
-
- A quick benchmark, on a 2.0GHz Athlon64 3200+ running Linux 2.6.24 with
- glibc 2.7, tells me that it takes roughly 20,000,000 PyTuple_New(1) calls
- when the tuple is retrieved from the freelist (i.e, call PyTuple_New() then
- immediately DECREF it) and 1,200,000 calls when allocating brand new tuples
- (i.e, call PyTuple_New() and store the returned value in an array), to save
- one second (wall clock time). Either ways, the loading time a pickle stream
- large enough to generate this number of calls would be massively
- overwhelmed by other factors, like I/O throughput, the GC traversal and
- object allocation overhead. So, I really doubt these functions provide any
- real benefits.
-
- On the other hand, oprofile reports that pickle spends a lot of time in
- these functions. But, that is probably more related to the function call
- overhead, than the argument tuple allocation.
-
- XXX: And, what is the reference behavior of these? Steal, borrow? At first
- glance, it seems to steal the reference of 'arg' and borrow the reference
- of 'func'. */
