On my machine (using python 2.5 under win xp) the results are:
>>> print timeit.Timer("f2()", "from __main__ import f2").repeat(number = 1)
[0.19726834822823575, 0.19324697456408974, 0.19474492594212861]
>>> print timeit.Timer("f1()", "from __main__ import f1").repeat(number = 1)
[21.982707133304167, 21.905312587963252, 22.843430035622767]
so it seems that there is a rather sensible difference.
what's the reason of the apparent inconsistency with Peter's test?
