Why is b.pop(0) over 200 times slower than del b[0] for bytearray?
24 Letting them compete three times (a million pops/dels each time): from timeit import timeit for _ in range(3): t1 = timeit(‘b.pop(0)’, ‘b = bytearray(1000000)’) t2 = timeit(‘del b[0]’, ‘b = bytearray(1000000)’) print(t1 / t2) Time ratios (Try it online!): 274.6037053753368 219.38099365582403 252.08691226683823 Why is pop that much slower at doing the same thing? python…
