No :-)

The problem is that the random data you run in interpreter 1 won't be the same 
data you run in interpreter 2, so the results are not directly comparable.  One 
of the sets of random data may be more easily sortable than the other.

That leaves two options:
1. save the random data to a file and use it in both interpreters, or
2. run a sufficiently large number of tests, with new random data for each 
test, such that you get a good measurement of the time required to sort average 
random data

I have been using approach #2.
