Maybe someone should ask on the Xcode mailing list. Almost every question is
being answered there by the lead Xcode Tools Apple engineer, Chris Espinosa.

Comparison
Ok, I see what the problem is, because the Universal python is also half as
fast on my PPC.
It appears that the universal build is not using any compiler optimizations
at all, where a normal build is -O3. I'm not quite sure where/why this is
happening (autoconf is evil), but I'm sure someone will figure it out soon
enough.
# universal
OPT= -DNDEBUG -g
# normal
OPT= -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
