IDLE is designed for tinkering, not fast handling of non-trivial amounts 
  of output (it runs your program in a separate process and pipes data 
to the interactive window over the network.  and the interactive seems 
to be redrawing the display for every line that arrives...)

but on the other hand, IDLE runs your sample script in less than 0.5 
seconds on my cheap Windows box.  complain to Sun ;-)
