Secondly, the string % operator appears to have an explicit optimisation for the 'just return str(self)' case. This optimisation is missing from the new string format method. I'll see if I can optimize this case.
3.0, from svn: $ ./python.exe -m timeit "'some text with {0}'.format('nothing')" 100000 loops, best of 3: 3.14 usec per loop
3.0, with PyUnicode_ExactCheck, skipping format lookup: $ ./python.exe -m timeit "'some text with {0}'.format('nothing')" 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.32 usec per loop
I could probably improve this some more, by skipping the creation of the object used to describe the format_spec.
Compare with: $ ./python.exe -m timeit "'some text with %s' % 'nothing'" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.37 usec per loop
