I used https://github.com/python/pyperformance pyperformance to compare Arch linux latest

> Python 3.8.3 (default, May 17 2020, 18:15:42) 
> [GCC 10.1.0] on linux

against a vanilla build (configure make makeinstall) of python 3.9b1

> Python 3.9.0b1 (default, May 19 2020, 21:09:14) 
> [GCC 10.1.0] on linux

I find all the bench marks seem to be slower in python 3.9b1.

Is this because I haven't built in the same way as Arch or are there real slowdowns in this beta? Or even dumber have I 
got the results the wrong way round?
