I'd like to try out another variant, but I'm unable to run your 
script... Where does that timing module come from? I can't find it anywhere.

The method I propose is simply

def method7():
     return ''.join(map(str, xrange(loop_count)))

I ran my own little test and it seems to be faster than method6, but I'd 
like to run it in your script for more reliable results. Also, I haven't 
done any memory measurement, only a timing.
