Yeah I guess this isn't true anymore, it looks like maybe it was true in 2.6 days.

  I immediately verified both claims. list(map(func, arr)) did bring 10% benefits if the func is builtin e.g. int(), str(). But if func is tuple(), list(), set() or any kind of user defined function, list(map()) is always slower. You can try yourself to see list(map()) is not working well: import numpy as np a = np.arrange(100000, 100000) %%timeit b1 = [np.sum(x) for x in a] # repeat once %%timeit b2 = list(map(np.sum, a)) # repeat once import gc gc.collect() %%timeit b2 = list(map(np.sum, a)) # repeat once b1 = [np.sum(x) for x in a] # repeat once I guess that's why I only use map() if and only if is it the case 'list(map(itemgetter, arr))', because generally there is no benefit to use it.
