Hello,

Hopefully I haven't wasted anyone's time - I just wanted to share what I see as a possibly substantial improvement to Python's core. let me know if you're interested in a patch to use for your own testing.

You should definitely open a bug entry in http://bugs.python.org. There, post your patch, some explanations and preferably a quick way (e.g. a simple script) of reproducing the speedups (without having to install a third-party library or extension, that is).

Thanks

Antoine.
