[Python-Dev] Time for the yearly list.append() panic

[Mark Favas]

[Tim wants to know whether his patch to listobject.c slows anything down
on anyone's "oddball box"...]

While in no way admitting that mine is an oddball box <wink>, it being a
Tru64 Unix alpha processor machine, I do see a slowdown after applying
the patch (measured on the test suite and on pystone). However, it's
only of the order of 0.5 to 1%.
