I was pretty surprised that it was 30% faster than "for x in s: pass". I assume it has something to do with a potential "else:" statement?
I'd imagine it's actually because it has to call next() a second time and deal with the StopIteration exception - the loop has to end normally, whereas the break form exits prematurely. Paul.
