also, which shedskin options did you use? did you use -bw, to disable bounds and wrap-around checking? this can make quite a difference for code that does a lot of indexing. if the code uses random numbers, then -r can also make a big difference, to use C rand(), instead of Python compatible random numbers. and which C++ compiler flags did you use? the default -O2, or something like -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2..? thanks, mark. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
