In my experience it is very hard to get stable benchmark results with Python.  Even long running benchmarks on an empty machine vary:

wget http://www.bytereef.org/software/mpdecimal/benchmarks/telco.py
wget http://speleotrove.com/decimal/expon180-1e6b.zip
unzip expon180-1e6b.zip

taskset -c 0 ./python telco.py full


$ taskset -c 0 ./python telco.py full
