Pystone benchmark: Win vs. Linux (again)

Hi all, I am relatively new about Python benchmarks. After some experiments I found that Python on my PC Windows XP has a relevant higher performance than on Linux. The simple test using pystone.py shows this: * Windows XP Pro: 16566.7 pystones/second * Linux (kernel 2.6.9 NPTL): 12346.2 pyst
