[NeedForSpeed] Further notes on pystone

[Steve Holden]

Uncle Timmy points out that the correct way to use pystone is to run it 
four or five times and report the highest value you see.

Also please note that the test uses a "trip count" which defaults to 
50,000. If your timings vary wildly, run it with an integer argument > 
50000 to stabilise the figures.

Also, Sean asks you to hold off the pybench testing, as he has some 
changes that he thinks will pay dividends in repeatability. It'll be 
nice to have someone else pissing Marc-Andre off: thanks, Sean!

Summary: let's do pystones ASAP, and then pybench later.

regards
  Steve
