It might better be called repeat_one_million_times(). Or put another way, myself and the OP misinterpreted what the call t1.repeat( number = 1 ) did. its a confusing API. For the OP: The call t1.timeit() is equivalent to t1.repeat( number = 1000000 ). So it bennefits from memoization because the call *is* repeated, not just called once like you intended.
