As usual, the results you're reporting are quite different than what I
see on my machine. I'd like to think that my machine is more normal
than yours, but I expect we're both oddballs <0.2 wink>. I see
basically the same slowdowns that you see, but the amount of the
slowdown is quite a bit smaller.
I compared current CVS with 1.5.2, both compiled with GCC 2.95.3 and
the -O3 flag; ran pybench of an 800MHz P3 with 256MB RAM running Linux
2.2.17.
Python 1.5.2:
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 0.85
This machine benchmarks at 11764.7 pystones/second
Python CVS:
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 0.94
This machine benchmarks at 10638.3 pystones/second
PYBENCH 0.9
Benchmark: cvs (rounds=10, warp=100)

(As MAL did, I removed all the results were the difference is +/-
10%.)
