xrange v. range

[Linkman226]

In python, I'm aware that xrange is quicker than range, but is it worth it to change all the range's in my mod to xrange's? That is to say, how much of a net benefit speed-wise is there?

none, unless you loop over a list of thousands, millions...

for small lists like those found in Civ4, range() can be supposedly faster (you'd probably have to loop it a million times to see any difference)
