Maybe we should check that > 2.4CVS hasn't regressed in performance when compared to 2.3.

Test results on my machine comparing Py2.4a1 vs Py2.3.4:

Parrotbench runs 10% faster on Py2.4a1 PyBench runs 11% faster on Py2.4a1 PyStone runs 6% faster on Py2.4a1 test_decimal.py runs 7% faster on Py2.4a1

My personal apps run 8 to 17% faster on Py2.4a1 without using new features.

These tests gain 2-4% if profiling of C functions is disabled for an apples to apples comparison to Py2.3 which doesn't profile C functions.
