Python print performance

gistfile1.txt

import sys
import time

x = 1
start_time = time.time()

for l in range(100000):
    print x

print time.time() - start_time


# for x = 0.3333 -> time 1.79656600952
# for x = 1 -> time 0.50

So if precision isn't important or you're only considering Ints, use int(round(x)) and make your print 3x faster
