This is a PR issue that Python needs to fight -- any ideas?

I'm not good at PR so I will continue to try to make it faster. In my copious free time I plan to:

* finish the AST compiler (no performance benefit but makes
  other things easier)

* optimize module namespaces as per the PEPs (whose numbers I
  cannot recall)

* optimize function/method invocation (we must be able to do
  something better here, they are currently very expensive).
  Fredrik has mentioned "call-site caching".

* write a new, register based VM
