499 VS 1661? Why performance reduced a lot when use the newest source build for esp32 port?

[cccc]

Please help!
On the same hardware board and same cpu freq setting, also use upip.install("micropython-pystone_lowmem") to get the same test code, got results below:

Code: Select all

I (20) pm_esp32: Frequency switching config: CPU_MAX: 240, APB_MAX: 240, APB_MIN: 240, Light sleep: DISABLED

import machine
machine.freq(240*1000*1000)
print(machine.freq())

import network
sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
sta_if.active(True)
sta_if.connect('***', '***')

import upip
upip.install("micropython-pystone_lowmem")

import pystone_lowmem
pystone_lowmem.main()

Pystone(1.2) time for 500 passes = 1001ms
This machine benchmarks at 499 pystones/second

but, after load a earlier version fw from official download page, got the result below:

some one can help?
