[Python-Dev] Re: [Patch #102337] revised CALL_FUNCTION implementation

[Jeremy Hylton]

Looks like I jumped the gun with my last message.  A trivial change to
the logic prevented the keyword arguments slowdown.  I've revised the
SF patch.  The new numbers show that the patch is just a tad faster on
the benchmark.  (And the difference between gcc -O2 and -O3 makes a
big difference for this ceval-intensive benchmark.)
