<DIV>>> The only additional thing that I would have liked to see here
would be a more complete description of the machine and version of .NET and
IronPython that you were running against.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jim,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is how I run this script:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IronPython 1.0.60712 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42
(this is Beta 9)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Intel celeron 2.0 - WinXP Professional</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>512 Mb RAM</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First pass:
30.7604572648</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second
pass: 29.9800466260</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the same machine with Cpython
2.4.2:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First pass:
2.46591424329</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now with IronPython 1.0.60725 on .NET 2.0.50727.42
(RC 1):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First pass:
7.52073545660</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second pass:
7.98481566791</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I see that Beta 9 was up to 12x slower, while
the latest version is only 3x slower.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great speedup!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Congratulations for the great job you and your team
are doing (and thank you!)</FONT></DIV>
