I don't think so.  Please refer to the code again: 
<http://py77.python.pastebin.com/f152b6c14>.  Line 21  is   if 
__name__ == '__main__':   .  Changing  this line to
if __name__ != '__main__':  increases the time dramatically.  But 
maybe you meant   if __name__ != '__main__':   ?  If so, you must be 
correct. But what's going on here??  Hey, Kent?

What's a code-block?
