[Python-Dev] Mailbox module - timings and functionality changes

[Nick Coghlan]

Command line: ./python -m test.regrtest -v test_mailbox

trunk: Ran 274 tests in 25.239s
py3k: Ran 268 tests in 26.263s

So I don't see any substantial difference on a Kubuntu 10.04 box (both
builds are recent'ish, but not completely up to date).

However, the underlying IO access is significantly different between
POSIX and Windows, so there could still be something pathological
happening at the filesystem manipulation layer. My comparisons are
also 2.7 vs 3.2 rather than 2.6 vs 3.1.

Cheers,
Nick.
