Well, I believe that I was wrong, wrong, wrong.  I found that if I ran
my Python program from the console it took only 400sec, just 100 more
than windoze.  But if I ran it from IDLE, the IDE, it took 800sec.  Then
I removed all my Python and reinstalled it compiling with -02.  Console
still ran at 400 sec, but with IDLE, I get 440sec.  Then I remembered, I
had installed the IdleFork port.  So it must bork the program in some
way.  Regular IDLE does OK.  Rob.
