There's a reason for that. Effectively, some clever tricks (and core
loop rewrites) have been added which puts Python into (the equivilant
of) -O mode all the time, by calculating line numbers seperately when
needed instead of generating SET_LINENO bytecodes. At least, that's what
I thought I understood it to be doing.
Anything that speeds up essentially all Python programs iss OK by me!
