too simple

Swap two statements and see the Java code slow down. Swap globals for local variables in a function and see the Python code speed up. Swap language implementations and see the C code speed up.

Take a tiny tiny ten-line snippet of code, loop through 10 000 million times and usually brittle performance measurements may become micro-benchmark-broken.

Something to think about, when you're tempted to draw broad conclusions from ten-line snippets of code.
