First of all, realise that pystone is not meant to be a general-purpose benchmarking program. It test a specific, *small* subset of the functionality available in Python. It's also not meant to be able to compare across machines, etc. It's highly susceptible to cache effects and various other things. If you include parrotbench you will get a better view of things, but it's also not designed for comparisons across machines. Tim Delaney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
