our buildbots are setup to configure --with-pydebug which also unfortunately causes them to compile with -O0... this results in a python binary that is excruciatingly slow and makes the entire test suite run take a long time.

It would be fine(-ish) to add this for improved buildbot performance, but please do not change this for default --with-pydebug builds. When you're debugging Python, -O0 just makes so much more sense.
