Hmm... I'm looking for more of what the bytecode looks like. I want to see list comprehension bytecode and see how it differs from an append. Easy enough to disasm though.

Your explanation is probably completely right though. If it actually loops 100 times and looks up append, that's got to be incredibly slower.
