And I gave other examples where 3.3 is *faster* on my Windows, which you 
have thus far not even acknowledged, let alone try.

System variation, unimportance of sub-microsecond variations, and 
attention to more important issues.

Other developer say 3.3 is generally faster on their sy
stems (OSX 10.8, and unspecified). To talk about speed sensibly, one 
must run the full stringbench.py benchmark and real applications on 
multiple Windows, *nix, and Mac systems. Python is not optimized for 
your particular current computer.
