According to a past discussion on this list, the current implementation isn't: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-March/077814.html (at least on the poster's system)

I believe he's only talking about Linux. Apples & oranges when it comes to stuff like this

Please trust Antoine that it's relevant: if the current implementation isn't fair on Linux, there is no need for the new implementation to be fair on Windows.
