Yes, should be investigated. [...] > > SpecialClassAttribute: 534ms 535ms 0.45us 1.121ms > > ~4x slower! Should be investigated as well.

It turns out that these two slowdowns are due to classes always being new-style in py3k. Indeed, if I add "metaclass = type" at the beginning of Tools/pybench/Lookups.py, 2.6 becomes as slow as 3.0.
