What is it that you are wondering about? The formatting difference is due to your code. The difference between 10 milliseconds and 7 milliseconds could be due to any number of things. First, you have the overhead of Python involved in your measurements. Second, you have the variability of memory caching and disk caching. Your Python code causes /bin/ls to be loaded into memory, and it's probably still in a file cache when you run the second command. You can't really do an analysis like this with a task that only takes a few milliseconds. There are too many variables. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
