Answer 1

In python 2.7 print() is faster than print. Here a test make with Repl.it Python Console Online :

import time

start_time = time.time()
print "lol"
end_time = time.time()
print(end_time - start_time)

start_time_2 = time.time()
print ("lol")
end_time_2 = time.time()
print(end_time_2 - start_time_2)

print((end_time_2 - start_time_2) > (end_time - start_time))
