Well, with the latest Windows nightly bundle, it's now 10-20% faster than 1.7 and almost twice as fast as 1.8, depending on the duration of the test.
I don't know what you did, but you did it damn well!

Bravo.
Laurent.

That's great news! Thanks!

I don't mind at all your using my test files. "I hereby grant you all the rights you need to do that, as I am the sole author of this code." I'm coding for fun, not to assert any copyright, patent or anything.

I'll try the latest trunk version and tell you how it goes.

Thanks again.
Laurent.

Hi Laurent,

Follow-up on the issue with your observed slow-down,
https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1051 :

It seems to be faster again on a pypy trunk nowadays than it was on
pypy 1.8; actually it is faster now than with pypy 1.7.  Can you
report if you're experiencing the same results on Windows?

Do you mind if we steal hexiom2.py and level36.txt and put them in
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/benchmarks, so that the program will be run
nightly and we can spot speed regressions directly?

Thanks!


Armin.
