Maybe it was not too clear what I was trying to point out. I have to calculate the time time.time() requires to return the next tick of the clock. Should be about 0.01ms but this may differ from os to os.
BTW (I'm new to linux) cat /proc/cpuinfo is nice but I have 2457.60 bogomips. Is this something i should be concerned about? I mean is this contageous or something ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
