At this time I have no other ideas to solve this problem.
Please, let me know if there's interest on a new patch to implement the "compiler-based" solution.
Have you timed the EXTENDED_ARG solution?

I really can't explain it. Ouch!
Looks like a good solution to the problem - no performance loss and a much higher limit on the number of arguments. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 26 2010)
