Not sure if 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 are small values,

I was thinking more in terms of less than 1000... :-)

I might get round to trying it sometime... The problem with such small numbers is finding a test thats measurable and isn't slewed by the processing inside the loop. I suspect the Python profiler might be needed to do it properly...
