I think it's something more. There is the 'rbench' module that contains geninterpreted versions of both richards and pystone; IIRC last time I tried they where ~50% faster than they interpreted counterparts, on both pypy-c and pypy-cli. Of course, with geninterp you remove more than just the interpretatiom overhead, as e.g. locals are stored on the stack instead that on a frame. ciao, Anto _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
