Sorry, I misinterpreted what you were suggesting.

You seem to be suggesting an optimisation that pre-creates
bound methods when the instance is created. Keeping a
cache of bound methods would achieve the same thing
without changing the semantics. I think CPython
might already be doing that, but I'm not sure.
