Yep, I've seen that. :-) http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2007_04_21.shtml#e687 It's not entirely slower, but mainly slower. OTOH, if you split a job into two threads on a twin-core machine, IronPython performance will increase dramatically whilst CPython will go down... Additionally, extending IronPython from C# is orders of magnitude easier than extending CPython from C.
