[IronPython] [Simpy-users] RE: SimPy on IronPython timing test

[Dino Viehland]

Ok, we do better that way :)

I get ~6 seconds for CPython, and ~3.3 seconds on IronPython.

The time it takes here is probably dominated by the time it takes to allocate ~80mb of ram from two 10,000,000-length lists, if try the tests again with xrange instead of range and post your results.
