Is 10x a measured number or a gut feel?
I put some time.clock() statements into the wxPyPlot code I got this: (the times are differences: T_after-T_before) one run with numarray: <__main__.PolyLine instance at 0x868d414> time= 1.06 <__main__.PolyMarker instance at 0x878e9c4> time= 1.37 a second run with numarray: <__main__.PolyLine instance at 0x875da1c> time= 0.85 <__main__.PolyMarker instance at 0x86da034> time= 1.04 first run with Numeric: <__main__.PolyLine instance at 0x858babc> time= 0.07 <__main__.PolyMarker instance at 0x858bc4c> time= 0.14 a second one: <__main__.PolyLine instance at 0x858cd7c> time= 0.08 <__main__.PolyMarker instance at 0x8585d8c> time= 0.17 This seems to be consistent with the profiling I did before: I get this w/ numarray: ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function) 1 1.140 1.140 1.320 1.320 gdi.py:554(DrawLines) 1 1.250 1.250 1.520 1.520 gdi.py:792(_DrawRectangleList) 50230 0.450 0.000 0.450 0.000 numarraycore.py:501(__del__) and this with Numeric: 1 0.080 0.080 0.080 0.080 gdi.py:554(DrawLines) 1 0.090 0.090 0.090 0.090 gdi.py:792(_DrawRectangleList)
so this looks to me like a factor of 10x.
Me too. Can you (or somebody) post the application code which does the drawlines? I can definitely instrument the bottleneck C-code, but I don't have time to ascend the wxPython learning curve.
