I was worried I lost it when my laptop died, but I managed to save
a copy.  The rules for the benchmark are:

- Live in front of OSCON audience
- Using the same Pentium Linux box
- Latest CVS version
- Best of three runs
- Python 2.3 bytecode
- Bytecode transformations OK

- To be decided by the Python folks
- Bytecode frozen in December 2003
- Should run for at least 30 seconds
- Output must be verifiably correct
- Full builtins OK
- No input or files (static data OK)
- No use of extension modules
- No use of regular expressions
