I assume that IronPython is implemented with thread-safe data structures
(i.e. there's no GIL). If so, then IronPython is at a disadvantage on
single-threaded benchmarks like pybench.
Just for fun, I tested System.Collections.SortedList against its thread
safe (Synchronized) version. The latter was 5 times slower!
In light of this simple test, its possible that 1) IP is very efficient
at implementing thread safety 2) .NET Synchronized collections are
horribly slow 3) my assumption on IP's implementation are wrong.
