Average of three runs at each setting for _PYOBJECT_THRESHOLD:

    size                 pystone
    ----                 -------
     64                   5883
    136                   6012
    144                   6036
    160                   6036
    192                   6036
    216                   6024
    256                   5989

Looks like 144 is about as good as it will get for now.

Parameters: PIII 450MHz, Linux Mandrake 8.1, GCC 3.0.1, glibc 2.2.4, current
CVS Python (more or less).
