Python speed test

[AndersDeleuran]

I usually just import time and do something like this:

Disable component outputs to improve computation performance

You can delete any calls to these functions. If they’re not functions (i.e. chunks of code within some larger scope) you can comment them out instead. If the performance issue is that outputting the data is the expensive part (it might be), you can remove the output entirely (i.e. using the ZUI), wrap the data in something less expensive, or simply set the data of the output variable to None at the end of the script. First step though is profiling the code to identify the actual bottlenecks. Y…

Though there are more advanced standard Python profiling modules as well.

Edit: Here’s a quick implementation (I usually import the Timer from this module):

201112_GHPythonTimer_00.gh (2.0 KB)

Edit 2: There’s also the .NET Stopwatch class (known from C#/VB):

from System.Diagnostics import Stopwatch

sw = Stopwatch()
sw.Start()

foo = 0
for i in range(100000):
    foo+=1

sw.Stop()
print sw.Elapsed
