Benchmarks should measure memory usage too, of course. Sadly that is not possible in standard cPython.
It's actually very easy in standard CPython, using sys.getsizeof.
Btw, this is of great interest to me at the moment, our Shanghai engineers are screaming at the memory waste incurred by dictionaries. A 10 item dictionary consumes 1/2k on 32 bits, did you know this?
I did. In Python 3.3, this now goes down to 248 bytes (32 bits).
