[fedora-arm] Performance on BBB

[Jos Vos]

Hi,

For a simple first impression of the performance (and because for me
Python performance is important), I used pystone.py on the BeagleBone
Black (http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/test/pystone.py).

Fedora:
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 10.9073
This machine benchmarks at 4584.1 pystones/second

Debian:
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 4.38
This machine benchmarks at 11415.5 pystones/second

Is there a good explanation for this?
