When speed loss was discussed, I was the one who stated that 1% wasn't substantial. Why? I've found variations of up to 3% in benchark times that seemed to be based on whether I was drinking juice or eating a scone while working. One percent is likely noise, in my experience, and the *speed* of Python has tended to gain double-digit percentage increases in the last few releases. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
