Not sure - I thought you knew ;-)

I'm aware of that thread, but Fredrik only posted some vague
comment to the checkins list, saying that they couldn't use
pybench. I asked for some more details, but he didn't get
back to me.

AFAIK, there were no real issues with pybench, only with the
fact that time.clock() (the timer used by pybench) is wall-time
on Windows and thus an MP3-player running in the background
will cause some serious noise in the measurements ;-)
