[Python-Dev] Re: Are we collecting benchmark results across machines

[Brad Clements]

Python 2.3.2 (#49)  pystone test on my Win2k SP4 machine.

Note this is a  1.6 ghz Pentium M (Centrino)

Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 1.3762
This machine benchmarks at 36331.9 pystones/second

Faster than Anthony's 3Ghz P4.

I believe this processor has a very large on-board cache.. I'm not sure how large. It's a 
Dell Lattitude D800.

My point being, I think pystone performance is greatly effected by CPU cache, more so 
than CPU clock speed.
