[issue6370] Bad performance of colllections.Counter at initialisation from an iterable

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I run many timings and the dict.get() approach is decidedly faster. 
Thanks for pointing that out.  Applied in r73695, r73696, and 73697.

FWIW, a timing suite is attached.
