Test results on my machine comparing Py2.4a1 vs Py2.3.4:

Parrotbench runs 10% faster on Py2.4a1
PyBench runs 11% faster on Py2.4a1
PyStone runs 6% faster on Py2.4a1
test_decimal.py runs 7% faster on Py2.4a1

My personal apps run 8 to 17% faster on Py2.4a1 without using new
features.

These tests gain 2-4% if profiling of C functions is disabled for an
apples to apples comparison to Py2.3 which doesn't profile C functions.
