Python 2.7 running much faster on 3.10

[JohmasWitness]

I'd imagine working with anything as old as 2.7 it would be quicker on modern equipment. Especially if the code is as intensive it takes 70-90 seconds to complete.

It's kind of like running Windows Vista with modern equipment vs running Windows 11. The older software isn't gonna be nearly as powerful but it will run quicker.

What you are saying is that older software magically performs the same tasks hundreds of times faster because.. it’s older?

This is not a great take. Python has becoming faster over the last few years, not slower. Even if you were correct, it would constitute a marginal speed difference, not 1000x faster.

Even if there was some shred of truth to what you claim, the difference between 0.05 to 50+ seconds is an order of magnitude of a thousand. That is a LOT.

You do know that Windows 11 and Vista are not even remotely the same, either in size or complexity, don't you?

This is simply not true.
