If you are doing raw number crunching you shouldn't be using python in the first place, the whole idea of python is that it makes it easier to write better algorithms lowering your big-O, or use python for the lightweight orchestration and call into native processing libs or external processes such as numpy for the heavy lifting. Same goes for distributed computing which is becoming much more popular; asyncio, await, and other improvements from py3 makes it easier to write fast and robust distributed code, improving your overall application performance.

So it took only a decade to bring Python 3 to levels of Python 2? Victory!

Perfect example of how not to use plots. Y-axis simply says mean, mean of what? I can't tell if lower is better or worse.

Thanks for this!

Do you know of any more longer term, less light Py2/3 benchmarking?
