Python IO performance?

[Cousin Stanley]

Chad ...

Thanks for posting the  < Perl | Python >  file IO comparisons ...

A transposed info matrix might be useful for summarizing ...

                            real           user           sys

perl       mycat.pl ..... 0m1.233s ..... 0m1.090s ..... 0m0.020s
python     mycat.py ..... 0m11.327s .... 0m11.160s .... 0m0.050s
python2.3  mycat.py ..... 0m8.420s ..... 0m8.250s ..... 0m0.050s

python     mycat2.py .... 0m4.014s ..... 0m3.860s ..... 0m0.030s
python2.3  mycat2.py .... 0m2.757s ..... 0m2.590s ..... 0m0.040s
