But comparison issues do change over time, e.g. the Python/Scheme comparison
at http://www.python.org/doc/pythonVSscheme.html says Python uses only
refcounting GC, and claims the Python and Jython implementations are
explicitly synchronized.  Java performance numbers cited are for JDK 1.1.7,
Python performance numbers are for 1.5.2, and so forth.
