In your test, you are looping 10000 times, we looped 1000000.
In Python tests with 10000 elements, it was about 10 ms.

Moreover, we tried various Python and C++ configurations. Most of the
tests are done with Python 2.4, not 2.5.
And I used gcc4, that is to say the latest on my platform.

I think this is the rationale behind it.
