No necessarily. David Beazley in his talks sometimes uses an ineffecient algorithm for calculating fibonacci numbers because he needs something that uses the cpu intensively. calculating the fibonacci numbers in that context as efficiently as possible would defeat that purpose. So in a context of a benchmark it is not unreasonable to assume those 50 million calls are the purpose and not calculating the Fibonacci numbers as efficiently as possible. -- Antoon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
