Given that execfile has been removed in py3k, I want to understand
exactly why.
Okay, I get that execfile is bad from the following thread:

String concatenation has been optimized since 2.3, so using += should
be fairly fast.
In my first test, I tried concatentating a 4096 byte string 1000 times
in the following code, and the result was indeed very fast (12.352 ms
on my machine).
import time
t = time.time()
mydata = ""
moredata = "A"
