Well, I don't know how you got these results on a
dual Xeon 550 with 1G of RAM.
I ran the same benchmarks on a dual PIII-550 with
256MB of RAM, and got:

> python:
multiplication of 100X100 matrixes takes 0.02
multiplication of 200X200 matrixes takes 0.20
multiplication of 300X300 matrixes takes 1.07
multiplication of 400X400 matrixes takes 2.81
multiplication of 500X500 matrixes takes 5.49
multiplication of 600X600 matrixes takes 9.58

multiplication of 100X100 matrixes takes 0.01
multiplication of 200X200 matrixes takes 0.06
multiplication of 300X300 matrixes takes 0.15
multiplication of 400X400 matrixes takes 0.35
multiplication of 500X500 matrixes takes 0.68
multiplication of 600X600 matrixes takes 1.19

So, this difference seems a bit strange, doesn't
it?
I'm using MATLAB 6 (whichis supposed to be
*slower* than 5.3), and Python 1.5.2.
