I was trying to measure the performance between python dictionaries, cythonized python dictionaries and cythonized cpp std::unordered_map doing only a init procedure. If the cythonized cpp code is compiled I thought it should be faster than the pure python version. I did a test using 4 different scenario/notation options:
I was expecting see how cython code outperforms pure python code, but in this case there is not improvement. Which could be the reason? I'm using Cython-0.22, python-3.4 and g++-4.8.
I got this exec time (seconds) using timeit:
Code is here and you can use it:
cython -a map_example.pyx
python3 setup_map.py build_ext --inplace
python3 use_map_example.py
map_example.pyx
from libcpp.unordered_map cimport unordered_map
from libcpp.pair cimport pair
cpdef int example_cpp_book_notation(int limit):
cdef unordered_map[int, int] mapa
cdef pair[int, int] entry
cdef int i
for i in range(limit):
entry.first = i
entry.second = i
mapa.insert(entry)
return 0
cpdef int example_cpp_python_notation(int limit):
cdef unordered_map[int, int] mapa
cdef pair[int, int] entry
cdef int i
for i in range(limit):
mapa[i] = i
return 0
cpdef int example_ctyped_notation(int limit):
mapa = {}
cdef int i
for i in range(limit):
mapa[i] = i
return 0

My timings from your code (after correcting that python *10 indent :) ) are
Cython CPP book notation
21.617647969018435
Cython CPP python notation
21.229907534987433
Cython python notation
24.44413448998239
Pure python
23.609809526009485
Basically everyone is in the same ballpark, with a modest edge for the CPP versions.
Nothing special about my machine, the usual Ubuntu 14.10, 0.202 Cython, 3.42 Python.
