Hi,
This is my first time on Python-dev, so I apologize for my newbie-ness.
I have been doing some performance experiments with memcmp, and I was
surprised that memcmp wasn't faster than it was in Python. I did a whole,
long analysis and came up with some very simple results.
Before I put in a tracker bug report, I wanted to present my findings
and make sure they were repeatable to others (isn't that the nature
of science? ;) as well as offer discussion.
The analysis is a pdf and is here:

The testcases are a tarball here:

I have three basic recommendations in the study: I am
curious what other people think.
Gooday,
Richie
