[Python-Dev] tuning up...

[Andrew MacIntyre]

I've just put together a binary distribution of 2.3a2 for OS/2 EMX, and
for the hell of it compared the pystone ratings of 2.3a2 against 2.2.2
on 2 different systems.

Results:
               2.2.2         2.3a2        change
system 1       18200         21700         +19.2%
system 2a       5600          6975         +24.5%
system 2b       6600          8540         +29.4%

(Pystone on 2.2.2 adjusted to 50000 loops, average of 3 runs)

Hardware:
system 1:  Athlon 1.4GHz, 512MB (PC133), OS/2 v4.0 FP12, gcc 2.8.1 -O2
system 2a: Via C3 800MHz, 256MB (PC133), OS/2 v4.0 FP15, gcc 2.8.1 -O2
system 2b:       "      ,   "          , FreeBSD 4.7, gcc 2.95.4 -g -O3
