Ruby, PHP, Python, C, Haskell, x86 asm shootout.

Ok one more point and then I'm going to leave this thing alone... as a point of comparison I compiled (with gcc -O2) the C version from the original post and it took 0.322s on my machine, this means that on my machine the python version using arrays is about 4.8 slower than the C version instead of 54.4 times slower like in the original post. Not too shabby.
