FWIW, I get >python -m timeit "import inttest; inttest.int_test2(5)" 10 loops, best of 3: 367 msec per loop >\Apps\Python30\python -m timeit "import inttest; inttest.int_test2(5)" 10 loops, best of 3: 810 msec per loop That's on Windows XP, distributed binaries of Python 2.5 and 3.0a1. Processor speed: 1.7 GHz Processor type: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor That's 120% slower (but against very different versions). I guess this proves nothing much, apart from the fact that the test is wildly variable and as such probably not very valid :-) Paul. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
