Weblog:   The Python comunity has too many deceptive XML benchmarks

Response to: deceptive benchmarks

It's indeed a surprisingly slow pystone rating for a dell inspiron 8600, 1700 megahertz. I'm on one now (with only 512 megabytes of RAM) and I get the following:


Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 1.3
This machine benchmarks at 38461.5 pystones/second


perhaps some CPU scaling was going on on Uche's so it wasn't running at the full 1700 mhz?

    38461 pystones/s matches the observation made here (37594 pystones/s). weird.

    but of course, running the Amara tests at a higher clockspeed, and the pystone/sax/cet tests at a lower speed, might also explain the 3X slowdown.
