Is it better to have multiple python lists or one giant list with multiple lists embedded? Taking from perspective of speed and ram/CPU usage. #python#programming#code#coding
So write a test that measures the thing you want to optimize (i.e. memory usage, or CPU usage) and then "try it and see". That said, I wouldn't expect there to be a huge difference between the two scenarios. (And as commented elsewhere, if the amount of data isn't "huge" it might not make any practical difference anyway)
@meejah@diazona yeah you both made a good point. Thanks for responding. I guess I also don't want to have someone reading that code and going "wow they did it THAT way? terrible."
@RomanOnARiver@diazona If you have a comment that says "I tested X and Y and they use about the same memory" then that person will be demonstrably wrong ;)
