Here's the code:
from random import random
from time import clock
s = clock()
for i in (1, 2, 3, 6, 8):
M = 0
N = 10**i
for n in xrange(N):
r = random()
if 0.5 < r < 0.6:
M += 1
k = (N, float(M)/N)
print (clock()-s)
Running on win7 python 2.7 32 bit it uses around 30 seconds avg.
Running on xubuntu, 32 bit, on vmware on windows 7: 20 seconds!
The code runs faster on vm, than the computer itself...
The python version in this case is 1.5 times faster...
I don't understand.
What causes this?
