Did I not say earlier - sorry. I'm suggesting that you put each timing
run into a separate Python process.

# Optimised code
python -m perf timeit -s "from mymod import FastList; L=<whatever you
do to create the list>;F=FastList(L)" "F.fastsort()"
# Core sort routine
python -m perf timeit -s "L=<whatever you do to create the list>" "L.sort()"
# Or maybe, if FastList exposes the existing sort function as well
# Non-optimised code
python -m perf timeit -s "from mymod import FastList; L=<whatever you
do to create the list>;F=FastList(L)" "F.sort()"
