+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #613045 +++ gcc 4.5 apparently adds "profile guided optimization", which, as I understand it uses information from previous runs of the DSOs to determine the relative frequency with which each branch is taken. Python has a good benchmarking suite, which simulates real-world workloads. See http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/ From the README.txt: "This project is intended to be an authoritative source of benchmarks for all 5 Python implementations. The focus is on real-world benchmarks, rather than 6 synthetic benchmarks, using whole applications when possible." It may be worth integrating this into the build somehow. It's not clear to me whether we can cache the data, or if we need to actually run the benchmarking suite during the build, then rebuild. We should also use the benchmarking suite to measure performance, and see what impact pgo actually has.
See http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/file/tip/make_perf3.sh for a script that ports the suite to python 3.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
A lot of thing are being refined currently upstream for that. With python 3.6, 3.5.3 and 2.7.13 a new configure flag will be added (--with-optimizations) which will enable the PGO along with other optimizations as well.
