Ось мої тестові запуски дуже приємного сценарію @ Jarrod-Chesney. Для порівняння, я також запускаю його проти python2 з "діапазоном", заміненим на "xrange".
З цікавості я також додав подібні тести з OrriedDict (ordict) для порівняння.
Python 3.6.9:
Time Taken = 0:00:04.971369, profile_dict_of_nt, Size = 944.27
Time Taken = 0:00:05.743104, profile_list_of_nt, Size = 1,066.93
Time Taken = 0:00:02.524507, profile_dict_of_dict, Size = 1,920.35
Time Taken = 0:00:02.123801, profile_list_of_dict, Size = 1,760.9
Time Taken = 0:00:05.374294, profile_dict_of_obj, Size = 1,532.12
Time Taken = 0:00:04.517245, profile_list_of_obj, Size = 1,441.04
Time Taken = 0:00:04.590298, profile_dict_of_slot, Size = 1,030.09
Time Taken = 0:00:04.197425, profile_list_of_slot, Size = 870.67
Time Taken = 0:00:08.833653, profile_ordict_of_ordict, Size = 3,045.52
Time Taken = 0:00:11.539006, profile_list_of_ordict, Size = 2,722.34
Time Taken = 0:00:06.428105, profile_ordict_of_obj, Size = 1,799.29
Time Taken = 0:00:05.559248, profile_ordict_of_slot, Size = 1,257.75
Python 2.7.15+:
Time Taken = 0:00:05.193900, profile_dict_of_nt, Size = 906.0
Time Taken = 0:00:05.860978, profile_list_of_nt, Size = 1,177.0
Time Taken = 0:00:02.370905, profile_dict_of_dict, Size = 2,228.0
Time Taken = 0:00:02.100117, profile_list_of_dict, Size = 2,036.0
Time Taken = 0:00:08.353666, profile_dict_of_obj, Size = 2,493.0
Time Taken = 0:00:07.441747, profile_list_of_obj, Size = 2,337.0
Time Taken = 0:00:06.118018, profile_dict_of_slot, Size = 1,117.0
Time Taken = 0:00:04.654888, profile_list_of_slot, Size = 964.0
Time Taken = 0:00:59.576874, profile_ordict_of_ordict, Size = 7,427.0
Time Taken = 0:10:25.679784, profile_list_of_ordict, Size = 11,305.0
Time Taken = 0:05:47.289230, profile_ordict_of_obj, Size = 11,477.0
Time Taken = 0:00:51.485756, profile_ordict_of_slot, Size = 11,193.0
Отже, в обох основних версіях висновки @ Jarrod-Chesney все ще виглядають добре.
