Chris is showing no such thing.  And you are simply trolling.  What do
you want us to do, fall down and worship you and admit that Python is a
horrible language and we should all use Perl?  What is your point?  Are
you looking for an admission of Python's slowness compared to Perl?  If
so, then yes it's slower.  For what I need it for, it does not matter.
Maybe you could write a better regex engine for python. Then we'd have
the best of both worlds.
