Well I'm damned - I thought that I'd be writing about this being a parallel example, and Java (and hence Jython)'s better threading support. Decided to run a few of my old "mathchallenge" scripts through both Python and Jython, and on some of the examples Python was running almost 4 times slower... So that's parallel processing and mathematical processing that seems faster in Jython. It's be interesting to see a proper comparison of how different types of program run. The VM startup overhead is much slower mind, but then that's only an issue for very small programs. Cheers, -- Ant. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
