How Fast Does Python Run?

[Marty Backe]

I'd be interested in seeing the code for each language. Specifically,
I doubt tcl is as slow as your results indicate. It should be more in
line with Perl. I suspect, for tcl, you didn't run it as a procedure,
which has a dramatic impact on how fast tcl runs.
