According to the time it took to my macbook air to calculate it in ruby, it would be pretty interesting to have someone generate benchmarks for different languages :)

sum(range(1, 100000001)) took ~3.25 seconds on my air under python3.

Your number appears to be a factor of 10 smaller than the "one billion plus one" of the original.

I get similar times on my Mac; about 3.2 seconds for 108 and 31.4 seconds for 109. Both are about 5 times faster than Python 2.7 for me.
