Ian did benchmarks and found that the new code was consistently slower, by 3-6%. Perhaps for Python 1.6 this will be acceptable (the "Python IS slow" thread notwithstanding :-); or perhaps someone can have a look at it and squeeze some more time out of it? I'll gladly forward the patches.
I'd really like to look into that. Also I wouldn't worry too much about speed, since this is such a cool feature. It might even be a speedup in some cases which otherwise would need more complex handling.
