Just out of curiosity

--- speed.py ---
x = []
for i in range(1000):
   for j in range(1000):
     x.append(j)

--- speed.boo ---
x = []
for i in range(1000):
   for j in range(1000):
     x.Add(j)

dino /home/down/boo/bin $ time python speed.py
real    0m2.217s

---

dino /home/down/boo/bin $ booc speed.boo
dino /home/down/boo/bin $ time speed.exe
real    0m2.417s

This does not appear to indicate that boo is any faster
than python...
