Hi All,

This is Vamsi from Server Scripting Languages Optimization team at Intel Corporation. Would like to submit a request to enable the computed goto based dispatch in Python 2.x (which happens to be enabled by default in Python 3 given its performance benefits on a wide range of workloads). We talked about this patch with Guido and he encouraged us to submit a request on Python-dev (email conversation with Guido shown at the bottom of this email).

+1 from me, for basically the same reasons Guido gives: Python 2.7 is going to be with us for a long time, and this particular change shouldn't have any externally visible impacts at either an ABI or API level.

Cheers, Nick.
