  • A constant-time short-circuit when comparing a tuple to itself
  • An early return for == and != when tuple lenghts differ, to avoid a walk through the whole tuple

See below for more detailed benchmarks (9f2a34a v. c901539)

Significant (+ >= 1.05) improvements on pyperformance:

  • dask: 1.30x faster
  • Concurrency pools: bench_thread_pool 1.11x faster; bench_mp_pool 1.06x
  • Core language ops: comprehensions 1.07x; generators 1.05x
  • Serialization/GC: coverage 1.05x

Significant regressions (+ <= 1.05) on pyperformance

  • asyncio network: asyncio_tcp 1.12x slower

I'm not exactly sure, but my hunch is that's the place hit in asyncio_tcp:

  • cpython/Lib/asyncio/events.py

    Lines 182 to 188 in 5ec03cf

    def __eq__(self, other):
    if isinstance(other, TimerHandle):
    return (self._when == other._when and
    self._callback == other._callback and
    self._args == other._args and
    self._cancelled == other._cancelled)
    return NotImplemented

I couldn't reproduce this with a microbenchmark, though.

The float("nan") behaviour is not changed:

>>> nan = float("nan")
>>> [nan] == [nan]
True
>>> (nan,) == (nan,)
True
>>> nan == nan
False
>>> nan is nan
True

Skipped 3 benchmarks only in pyperformance.c9015394.json: connected_components, k_core, shortest_path

pyperformance (without identity check)

Significant improvements

  • dask: 1.28x faster
  • concurrency pools: bench_thread_pool 1.11x; bench_mp_pool 1.08x
  • core language: comprehensions 1.06x

Significant regressions

  • asyncio network: asyncio_tcp 1.10x slower
  • low-level: unpack_sequence 1.07x slower (??? UNPACK_SEQUENCE_TUPLE and _LIST shouldn't call tuple_richcompare; the difference is just 2.3ns which might be caused by jitter or by a branch predictor history)
The results:

I'm aware of https://bugs.python.org/issue30907 but I think it was premature:

  • pyperformance was much less mature then,
  • it was hard to go beyond simple microbenchmarks,
  • there was no quantifiable arguments,
  • there was generally less focus on performance in the language.

That said, even 25d53eb, without the identity check, is great (9f2a34a is main):

The `pyperformance compare`:

Can you add comparison tests to Lib/test/seq_tests.py? Especially a test with float("nan").

@picnixz Thank you for spotting this. I've missed this issue. Do you think it makes sense to split this PR into two? Especially given that the identity check is not responsible for the major (>= 1.05x) improvement here.

I would still want to have other core devs opinion on this one. While I agere that pyperformance wasn't as mature as it was, note that we have some tests that are definitely slower, such as unpickle and json.loads (AFAICT from the pyperformance benchmarks). I would like first to reach a consensus on this optimization in the issue rather than pushing this forward. In addition, we need to be sure that every Tier-1 platofmr exhibits the same speed-up. On Windows, we had slowdowns if we naively added those fast paths to tuple, list, and set.

A Python core developer has requested some changes be made to your pull request before we can consider merging it. If you could please address their requests along with any other requests in other reviews from core developers that would be appreciated.

Once you have made the requested changes, please leave a comment on this pull request containing the phrase I have made the requested changes; please review again. I will then notify any core developers who have left a review that you're ready for them to take another look at this pull request.

I couldn't reproduce this with a microbenchmark, though.

This is interesting. Usually it is the other way around: not all benefits we see in micro benchmarks show up in pyperformance ...

In addition, we need to be sure that every Tier-1 platofmr exhibits the same speed-up.

Maybe @mdboom can fire up the faster pyperformance suite on this? Or somebody the one from meta? These two are the defacto gold standards when it comes to benchmarking :)
