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 pystones/second
I have repeated the test, on Linux, also with other distributions and kernel but a relevant difference still exists with Windows offering a better performance.
Is there any way, that you know, to get better performance under Linux?
