On a Pentium 4 @ 3.00GHz the obj_test_ss.py version ran in the range 7.36 sec. to 7.54 sec. in three tests. The times are comparable to those of a P3 @ 500 Mhz. Maybe a bit slower: 6*7.54=45.24.

I would have thought that compiled C or D would be many times faster than shown in the test, but my expertise is slim in this area.
