I was baffled at this too (same difference on my box), until I discovered that the buffer size is specified *twice*: once as a default in the arg list of readlines_sizehint(), then *again* in the call to timer() near the bottom of the file. Take the latter one out and the times are comparable, in fact readlines_sizehint() is a few percent quicker. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
