[Stackless] verify my performance numbers?

[Santiago Gala]

My numbers, and an additional version. As I use linux, my xml file is
a 1606348 bytes rhythmbox.xml:


threaded:          8.39, 8.44, 8.05
(my)threaded:   1.53, 1.53. 1.54
stackless:        1.07, 0.94. 0.97
SAX interface:   0.28, 0.27, 0.29

My version substitutes the bloated and hyperlocked Queue class by a
deque + simple locking, using with for cleaner code.

To test using 2.4,

with lock:
  <code>

can be substituted by:

try:
  lock.acquire()
  <code>
finally:
  lock.release()

A substantial part of the overhead, thus, is due to the Queue class, though
stackless is still 50%+ faster than a simple deque+lock solution, plus
cleaner code
