It's only one extra slot per function or class.
OK; I was thinking of both the object qname and its module's qname, but I agree that they are separable.
Have you done benchmarks like the Unicode Changes PEP has?
I don't expect it to have any interesting impact. What benchmarks do you have any mind?
I would personally be satisfied with just timing the regression suite before and after, though others (Unladen Swallow?) may have more representative workloads. My biggest concern is that any memory increase (let alone 6%) may matter if it forces the use of extra cache lines. -jJ
