800 MHz Ti PowerBook (G4), using Python from CVS, output of make (second run of two, to make sure pyo files were already generated):

time python -O b.py >@out

real    0m49.999s
user    0m46.610s
sys     0m1.030s
cmp @out out

The best-of-three pystone measurement is 10964.9 pystones/second.

The Makefile should probably parameterize "python" like so:

PYTHON = python

time:
        time $(PYTHON) -O b.py >@out
        cmp @out out

...

so people can specify precisely which version of Python to use.
