On my 2.6 GHz P4 running debian testing I got the following results :- $ for p in 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4; do echo $p; python$p pystone.py 1000000 ; done 2.1 Pystone(1.1) time for 1000000 passes = 40.67 This machine benchmarks at 24588.1 pystones/second 2.2 Pystone(1.1) time for 1000000 passes = 39.64 This machine benchmarks at 25227 pystones/second 2.3 Pystone(1.1) time for 1000000 passes = 32.49 This machine benchmarks at 30778.7 pystones/second 2.4 Pystone(1.1) time for 1000000 passes = 29.88 This machine benchmarks at 33467.2 pystones/second Showing that 2.4 is the fastest so far!
