Do not worry. jmf is on about his old rant comparing broken previous versions of Python to newer ones which in some microbenchmarks are slower. I don't really get why he spends his time on it. If you're interested, the basic of it is that strings now use a variable number of bytes to encode their values depending on whether values outside of the ASCII range and some other range are used, as an optimisation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
