[Python-Dev] 2.5a2 try/except slow-down: Convert to type?

[Sean Reifschneider]

Changes have been checked into the trunk for converting exceptions to types
instead of classes.  According to pybench, 2.5a2 was 60% slower at
raising exceptions than 2.4.3, and now trunk is 30% faster than 2.4.3.
Yay!

Thanks,
Sean
