No, Vincent is right.
I confirmed it on my XP machine.
1.2 appears to be faster than 2.5.

I suspect that 1.2 is not really faster.
There may be something fishy going on.
The machine code that's executed should be
almost the same, and where it's different,
2.5 should be faster in most cases. 

The only thing that should be faster in 1.2 is 
the slice benchmark. At a certain point (1.4 I think), 
I gave up some slice speed to gain subscripting speed
as well as saving some memory. It was a good trade-off.

I'll investigate this more tomorrow.
