EVE - Dev Blog: Stackless Python 2.5 : EVE News

porkbelly has posted a new Dev Blog regarding CCP's decision to deploy Stackless Python 2.5 for EVE, hopefully resulting in a 'juicy performance boost.'

Then several things changed:

* Python moved on. Version 2.4 came out and version 2.5 started development.
* An increased focus on performance became apparent within the Python community, which culminated in the NeedForSpeed sprint in Reykjavík in the spring of 2006, of which CCP was a co-sponsor.
* Microsoft released VisualStudio 2005 which includes improved optimization, particularly profile guided optimization, and honed it with a service pack earlier this year.
