I reran the tests with this code and differencese are indeed massive:

>>> execfile(‘de2.py’)
“”
0.911000013351
“”
0.790999889374
“”
2.06299996376

Increasing iterations of each loop 10 times:

>>> execfile(‘de2.py’)
“”
8.94199991226
“”
8.04200005531
“”
136.887000084

Weird, I got the following numbers:

>>> execfile(‘de.py’)

8.79299998283

7.91100001335

9.47399997711

Lists are worse but not that much worse. They might have improved performance of lists, I’m running 2.4.3.
