PS1, Line 315: self._tx_queue_lock.acquire()
Thanks for feedback.
The strange thing is, with %timedif what you've
used with ipython, it is much slower.
When you are measuring with cProfile, what actually happens is that python execution is
instrumented and the profiler gets to run every Nth instruction. Measuring overall time
with profiler thus measures significantly adjusted code and the profiler usage can affect
the result significantly if it is used for microbenchmark link this.
When you are measuring with %timeit of IPython, the code only gets executed for many times
without any instrumentation. It thus reflects that actual execution time that we get
during regular usage more closely.
Here is indirect proof that profiling is instrumenting the code when running it:
```diff

```
the `.getstats()` low-level method, that you used in measurements, is exactly the same
method that is used by the profiler to build statistics out of lsprof samples:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.11.9-9-g1b0e63c81b5/Lib/cProfile.…
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.11.9-9-g1b0e63c81b5/Lib/cProfile.…
So in my view the benchmarks speak for the "forloop" variant to be better.
--------
Besides that I would not go to microoptimize the code on python level, because in my view
here the actual difference in between both versions is not that high and it does not
contribute so much compared to other changes, like not doing tx work from under lock, and
not doing useless copies. From that point of view the "forloop" variant also
looks better because it is more logical to scan the queue only once extracting all the
things at once.
By the way it actually turned out that this part of the code does not occupy lot of time,
at least not with 4 trx. And if it will start to occupy lots of time it is better to
change tx_queue to priority queue instead of still linearly scanning it all the time.
