Hi,

thanks for sharing that.

No, nothing stupid, but something that can reduce the comparability of the
timings. You are creating a 1000000 item list on each benchmark, using a
call to range() in some cases and a list comprehension in others.

It's usually better to move initialisations out of the timings, e.g. by
creating a large range() object once and re-using it. That reduces the
impact of unrelated operations on the absolute numbers.
