Yes, I suspect there are. Though you don't need millions of digits for a single operation to take a noticeable amount of time: try str(10**100000), for example. Is there a benefit to removing the check?

Apart from casual cleanup, the reason I'm asking is that I'm experimenting with removing _Py_Ticker, and I want to know what I need to emulate :-)

Antoine.
