Could it just be that instantiating instances of new-style classes is slower than instantiating instances of old-style classes? There's not anything in what you've posted to suggest that exceptions are involved directly.

for completeness, here's the corresponding results from 2.4:

python -mtimeit -s "class Exception(object): pass" "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.278 usec per loop

python -mtimeit -s "class Exception: pass" "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.387 usec per loop

python -mtimeit "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.989 usec per loop

python -mtimeit -s "class Exception(object): pass" "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.284 usec per loop

python -mtimeit -s "class Exception: pass" "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.388 usec per loop python -mtimeit "Exception()" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.95 usec per loop
