I'm not sure a free list would help much for instances of user define classes, since creating one involves setting up a dict, etc. And if you use slots you end up with objects of different sizes, which isn't free-list-friendly.

Not easy, but doable. Perhaps a plan B if nobody comes up with a plan A.
