This is last century's issue. Copying data, RAM to RAM, is nearly free using the Intel architecture. This short article, http://www.martinrinehart.com/articles/repz.html explains why. I'd use one int per clock as a rule of thumb for the current copy rate in a single-core CPU. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
