From 99dba27e9a671693710128c0cfb5ed6686cda79b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Skip Montanaro Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 20:19:06 +0000 Subject: Bump default check interval to 100 instructions. Computers are much faster than when this interval was first established. Checking too frequently just adds needless overhead because most of the time there is nothing to do and no other threads ready to run. --- Python/ceval.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Python/ceval.c b/Python/ceval.c index 8b3823a0..6364c3f 100644 --- a/Python/ceval.c +++ b/Python/ceval.c @@ -469,8 +469,8 @@ static int unpack_iterable(PyObject *, int, PyObject **); /* for manipulating the thread switch and periodic "stuff" - used to be per thread, now just a pair o' globals */ -int _Py_CheckInterval = 10; -volatile int _Py_Ticker = 10; +int _Py_CheckInterval = 100; +volatile int _Py_Ticker = 100; PyObject * PyEval_EvalCode(PyCodeObject *co, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals) -- cgit v0.12
