How does that sound? I think I can hear real patches and benchmarks most clearly. I spent the better part of my -20% time on implementing the work as "suggested". Please find the benchmarks attached to this email, I just

Could you try benchmarking with the "standard" benchmarks: http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/ and see what sort of performance gains you get?

did them on my system (i7-920, Linux 3.0.0-15, GCC 4.6.1). I branched off the regular 3.3a0 default tip changeset 73977 shortly after your email. I do not have an official patch yet, but am going to create one if wanted. Changes to the existing interpreter are minimal, the biggest chunk is a new interpreter dispatch loop.

How portable is the threaded interpreter?

Do you have a public repository for the code, so we can take a look?

Cheers, Mark.
