Dan, What are the agreed upon constraints?

A simple benchmark like pystone doesn't tell much. Large systems used for real work are more interesting and a more realistic measure of the language+implementation than small synthetic benchmarks. For example, Zope might be a good choice, but measuring its performance is an interesting (and difficult) problem in itself.

Not to push, folks, but the python dev community was going to write the benchmark program for the pie-off Guido and I are going to have at OSCON 2004. We're supposed to have the bytecode for the program frozen by the end of December 2003, a mere 16 days away. (I could just go with pystone, I suppose, but even .NET's faster on that one...) -- Dan
