[Python-Dev] xreadline speed vs readlines_sizehint

[Mark Favas]

Just Another Data Point - my box (DEC Alpha, Tru64 Unix) shows the same
behaviour as Tim's WinBox wrt the new xreadline and the double-loop
readlines (so it's not just something funny with MS (not that there's
not anything funny with MS...)):

total 131426612 chars and 514216 lines
count_chars_lines     5.450  5.066
readlines_sizehint    4.112  4.083
using_fileinput      10.928 10.916
while_readline       11.766 11.733
for_xreadlines        3.569  3.533
