Four years old. IP 0.1 vs CP 2.3. Sheesh. > http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonmatusow/archive/2005/03/28/402940.aspx Close to 3 years old but somewhat more meaningful ... """IronPython 0.7 is up to 1.8x faster than Python-2.4 on the standard pystone benchmark. The key to IronPython's performance is that it compiles Python code to .NET Intermediary Language which is then translated to optimized machine code by the runtime.""" Where did you get "a few times faster" from? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
