so, each 'iteration' that I had in the table contains an inner loop that
is itself JIT-ed (not verified, but just compare the PyPy-2.1 v.s. CPython
numbers to see how well that works; likewise, if I switch off the JIT, the
result is an xx slowdown compared to CPython). Thus, if '100 iterations,'
the hurt should only be in the first iteration.

Best regards,
