Some Python 3 compatibility changes made python-memcached import
pickle
rather thancPickle
, since the latter isn't available on Python 3:4540332
This is fine on Python 3, since importing
pickle
will automatically use the faster C implementation if available, however with Python 2 this caused a 400% slowdown in memcache gets between python-memcached v1.53 and v1.54, when dealing with objects other than bytes.This mostly fixes #71, though there is still a 10-20% performance drop using current master plus this change, compared to v1.53 (using Python 2.7.10).
