OK. - I'm afraid that I made an error in the benchmarks, since I
accidentally used a changed version of telco.py, namely:
 # t is a Decimal
 outfil.write("%s\n" % t) # original version
 ...
 outfil.write(str(t)) # changed version runs 
 outfil.write('\n') # faster since PEP-393
 ...
Since PEP-393 the changed version with two calls to write()
runs quite a bit faster than the original. For Python-3.2
and 2.7 the original runs faster.
Do you have an idea what could cause this?
