No, you missed my point.  I said if *all* the loops are going to do is 
print stuff.  In other words, no other calculations, no function calls, 
no nothing.  Just simple "print" statements.  Doing this in your test 
just tests I/O in the C library and operating system, not anything to do 
with the speed of Python, as Bruno has clarified in detail.
