[Python-Dev] genexps slow? (original) (raw)

Make r a lot bigger, and I expect the genexp will get relatively faster (due to better cache behavior).

Also, try a timing with "sum(x for x in xrange(100000))". This will highlight the differences in behavior. With xrange, this genexp will be able to execute entirely in cache.
