list of functions and function args
<p>I was wonder about the performance about some of the options for zipmap described in this post <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4231345/zip-and-apply-a-list-of-functions-over-a-list-of-values-in-python">here</a>. </p>

<p>(I'm still new here, so I couldn't comment on that thread).</p>

<p>In particular, I'm interested in comparing the list comprehension: </p>

<pre><code>[f(x) for f,x in zip(functions, values)]
</code></pre>

<p>to the map call:</p>

<pre><code>map(lambda f,x: f(x), functions, values)
</code></pre>

<p>I've heard the lambda is expensive, but won't map involve fewer function calls?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
