Doubtful. I have Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz quad-core
with hyperthreading, but I'm only using one core for this job. I've
run the tests several times and each time, Py2 is a shade under two
seconds for inline/range_sum, and Py3 is about 2.5 seconds for each.
Fascinating.

Just for curiosity's sake, I spun up the tests on my reiplophobic
server, still running Ubuntu Karmic. Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU
E6500  @ 2.93GHz.

Once again, Py3 is slower on small integers than Py2. So where's the
difference with your system? This is really weird! I assume you can
repeat the tests and get the same result every time?
