Most builds of python included with distribution packages are built with
various levels of optimization. I have experienced slowdowns from source
built python of the same version as the distribution python even when
using some optimization flags with the configure script. This appears to
be normal behavior and is not cause for concern about the performance of
python 3.9.0b1
