Pyhon 2.x or 3.x, which is faster?

[Tony van der Hoff]

Hi, I've been experimenting with a short test program under python 2.7 
and python 3.4.2. It's a simple read from file, and locate a word therein.

I get the (subjective) impression that python2  is slightly faster than 
python3. Is that correct? Is there any documentation to support this?

Thanks,
