Clearly, the cost of function calls in Python lies somewhere else, and I'd probably look next at parameter tuple allocation,

For simple calls where there aren't any *args or other such complications, it seems like it should be possible to just copy the args from the calling frame straight into the called one.

Or is this already done these days?
