[Python-markdown-discuss] Performance issues with 2.1.0

[Alexandre L. <new...@al...>]

Dear all,

there seems to be pretty big performance issues in version 2.1.0, 
especially when dealing with raw HTML. Has anyone noticed it?

Have a look at the test script located at 
<http://stdin.fr/markdown/markdown_issue/>

Using markdown==2.0.3:

     python2 markdown_issue.py  0,17s user 0,01s system 94% cpu 0,191 total

Using markdown==2.1.0:

     python2 markdown_issue.py  3,00s user 0,03s system 99% cpu 3,048 total

And it gets worth with the longer files I deal with... I even get stuck 
indefinitely. Unfortunately it is very inconvenient for me switch back 
to 2.0.x as I rely a lot on new style attribute list... Do you have any 
idea on what is going on?

Thanks a lot,

-- Alex
