Thanks for your answers!

Right, the speed difference due to output buffering seems annoying. I wonder if you can change the stdout buffering mode to be more similar to Python's (if Python's stdout is not line buffered, I don't recall).

Also, you might want to try to run the same benchmarks PyPy uses: http://speed.pypy.org/

These are still micro-ish benchmarks, but not quite as micro as some of yours.

I saw in another post that you are going off to industry to do something else, but if you will continue development and evaluation of Cannoli and want to discuss further, feel free to drop me a line at the email address in the paper linked above.
