I cannot confirm this performance regression. On my laptop (Debian Linux, not Windows), I can sort a million file names in approximately 1.2 seconds in both Python 3.2 and 3.3. There is no meaningful difference in speed between the two versions. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
