Hi,
My python module is built using the recommended distutils.core, which
uses the -pthread flag. To my amazement this slows down the (-O3) code
by a factor of two (!2)
My gcc documentation says pthread is a PowerPC flag, but I guess this
is wrong.
Would my code fail if I drop this flag (Assuming I don't use threads
at all)?
Why would there be such a speed penalty?
Anyone can shed some light on that?
Thanks, Joseph
