OS/2 EMX (2.2.1 without pymalloc)
justpush 0.59
justzip 8.85
OS/2 EMX (recent CVS with pymalloc)
justpush 0.54
justzip 8.81
FreeBSD 4.4 (2.1.1 w/o pymalloc)
justpush 89.72
justzip 110.41
FreeBSD 4.4 (recent CVS with pymalloc)
justpush 19.21
justzip 46.32
The FreeBSD box is more mature hardware (P5-166). I'm surprised at the
difference in the 2 sets of results on it. AFAIK, the compiler version
and switches are identical for the two interpreters (the 2.1.1 is from the
binary package on the FreeBSD 4.4 CDs).
