[Tutor] Python2 speed vs Python1.5.2

[Scott Ralph Comboni]

I just finished a small script that uses the re module for regular
expression processing.  It's a very simple script that parses a text
file and does a re.sub then saves the new file out 1000 times. I ran the
script under Python2.0 and Python1.5.2 and found that Python1.5.2 took
4secs while 2.0 took 15secs..  Any answer why Python2.0 is slower?
