[IronPython] Performances and Profiling of ReportLab under IronPython

[Marco Parenzan]

Dear All,

 

I downloaded IPY2.6beta2 to test this script:

 

from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing, String

from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF

 

d = Drawing(100, 100)

s = String(50, 50, "Hello World", textAlign='middle')

 

d.add(s)

 

renderPDF.drawToFile(d, "HelloWorld.pdf", "HW")

 

IPY 2.0.2 takes 20 seconds; IPY 2.6beta2 about 8! But it takes
long....CPython takes less that a second.

 

I have executed profiling from Curt post

. This is the result (first 15 rows, sorted by calls DESC):

I have not experience: any idea on improving performances? Thanks
