Some work was done in [https://bugs.python.org/issue31336]. Currently I
have no ideas.
Creating a class is 1-2 orders slower than creating a function. And
adding parent classes significantly slows down it.
$ ./python -m perf timeit --duplicate=100 'def f(s): pass'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 50.4 ns +- 0.8 ns
$ ./python -m perf timeit --duplicate=100 'class C: pass'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 6.80 us +- 0.14 us
$ ./python -m perf timeit --duplicate=100 'class C:' ' def m(s): pass'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 7.11 us +- 0.11 us
$ ./python -m perf timeit --duplicate=100 'class C(str): pass'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 8.47 us +- 0.34 us
I'm surprised that that creating a method is much slower (6 times!) than
creating a function. Maybe due to __set_name__ or other magic.
It isn't surprised that creating an enum or namedtuple class is much
slower than creating a regular class. The latter was much worse before 3.7.
$ ./python -m perf timeit -s 'from enum import Enum' --duplicate=100
'class E(Enum): A = 1'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 45.9 us +- 0.8 us
$ ./python -m perf timeit -s 'from collections import namedtuple'
--duplicate=100 'P = namedtuple("P", ("x",))'
.....................
Mean +- std dev: 44.7 us +- 0.6 us
