	I chose range() in order to reuse the list (generated outside the
timing), rather than include the time of the iterator on both loops.

	Ran it three times and only had differences in the noise.

	The main incentive for my "subjective" comment is that I was getting a
do-nothing loop that was ~half the time you reported, while the print #
loop was ~twice your reported times.
