this is the second time I've seen that 14% figure. OOC, where does it come from? the data sets you posted show an average 12.6% speedup. 14 is an odd way to round. :) I don't think it's very useful to talk about average speedups from a benchmark of equally-weighted feature tests. the data shows wildly varying differences in performance for each test. a real-world application could be much slower or much faster on either platform depending on its feature mix. not the type of thing that's amenable to expression as a single value. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
