[Python-Dev] Benchmarking Python 3.3 against Python 2.7 (wide build)

[Gregory P. Smith]

Interesting results!

Another data point for the benchmarks that would be interesting is memory
consumption of the python process during the runs.

In 3.3 a reasonable place to gather this would be to add a callback to the
new gc.callbacks and save a snapshot of the process's memory usage before
every collection to gather peak, average and median usage over the life of
the process.  2.7 doesn't have this feature but there is a backport of this
to 2.7 in the bugtracker.

I guess I should join speed@ :)
