I've always disliked using "if not n % 2" to test for even/odd ints because of its convoluted logic. But I ran some speed tests and found it was the way to go over "if n % 2 == 0". By my tests, it's 4.3% to 9.5% faster, depending on the integer tested - size and whether odd or even. See the speed testing script and results at <http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/iragLgDz>.
