[Python-Dev] Disabling cyclic GC in timeit module (original) (raw)

Hi

Can we disable by default disabling the cyclic gc in timeit module? Often posts on pypy-dev or on pypy bugs contain usage of timeit module which might change the performance significantly. A good example is json benchmarks - you would rather not disable cyclic GC when running a web app, so encoding/decoding json in benchmark with the cyclic GC disabled does not make sense.

What do you think?

Cheers, fijal
