If anyone is curious, I ran pybench for both 2.6 and 3k build against VS 2003 and VS 2008. This is using the out of the box settings, and no PGO for 2008 (Express version doesn't have it). MSVC 9 was slightly faster for 2.6, but somewhat slower for py3k. I'm not sure how relevant that is, but (surprisingly to me) it's not an automatic speed win over MSVC 7.1. The results of my pybench runs available here:

I haven't enabled all optimization flags yet. We may get some speed ups by enable more flags. I leave that to the optimization experts.

I'm glad that everybody is happy with the new PCbuild9 directory. Tcl/Tk is the last obstacle. I'm not able to build the 64bit version with the cross compiler of VS 2008 Standard Edition.
