[issue33930] Segfault with deep recursion into object().__dir__

It is hard to get a noticeable difference in macrobenchmarks. I want to see results of microbenchmarks.

For tuples, the trashcan mechanism is the main culprit of the performance hit when use short-living tuples for passing arguments. For bound method objects the relative effect should be smaller, because looking up the method is more costly than building a tuple, and less bound method objects are created after implementing the method call optimization. But in any case we should know the maximal cost of this change before merging it.
