for cases like this, the command form gives a better result with less effort; it picks a suitable number of iterations based on how fast the code actually runs, instead of using a fixed number, and it also runs the test multiple times, and picks the smallest observed time. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
