If you don't use Python 3 and your cycles can be long, then I suggest you to start using xrange a lot :-) (If you use Psyco you don't need xrange).

The HotSpot speeds up this code first of all because its GC is much better than the current one used by D, because it optimizes away the getters/setters that D is unable to do, and probably manages the methods two classes as static ones (while D manages all of them as virtual).
