+python 2.7, python 3, pypy and pypy3 are supported.   pypy3 can increase throughput by up to 100% where interpreter is the bottleneck -- however at present pypy and pypy3 do not support pyyaml, at least not in Fedora 31.

 Postprocessing of response time data
 --------
 
-If you specify **--response-times Y** in the command, smallfile will save response time of each operation in per-thread output files in the shared directory as rsptimes*.csv.   For example, you can turn these into an X-Y scatterplot so that you can see how response time varies over time.   For example:
