Performance (pystone) of python 2.4 lower then python 2.3 ???

    Dan> I also see an 8-10% speed decrease in 2.4 (I built) from 2.3.3
    Dan> (shipped w/Fedora2) in the program I'm writing (best of 3 trials
    Dan> each).  Memory use seems to be about the same.

How do you how the compiler flags were the same if you didn't compile both
versions yourself?
