Re: python speed

>Faster than assembly? LOL... :) why not? Of course, a simple script like "copy 200 bytes from left to right" can be handoptimized in assembler and run at optimum speed. Maybe there is even a special processor command to do that. I learned that there was one generation of CPUs which had effective

Re: python speed
