Just run it? Python Lib/test/pystone.py, or alternatively python -c  
'from test.pystone import *; main()'. You should probably run pystone  
several times and report the best version (highest pystones/second  
value).

What I'd like to see is the pystone results from both an intel and  
gcc compiled version of python from the same python sources and on  
the same machine.
