On 32-bit x86 (1.4Ghz Efficeon) using gcc 4.3.2-1ubuntu12 I see the following perf with pidigits_noprint 2000: py3k: baseline longdigit14 longdigit13+optimizations 3709 ms 3664ms 4545ms Those were from the best of five runs after a warmup loop while the system was idle. --enable-big-digits was passed to configure and sys.int_info confirmed it was 30bits on the longdigit versions. baseline is entirely unpatched.
