The motivation for this patch was to enable a memory footprint
optimization, discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue26415 My
proposed optimization reduces the memory footprint by up to 30% on the
standard benchmarks, and by 200% on a degenerate case which sparked
the discussion. The run time stays unaffected by this optimization.

That can't be right. How can you reduce memory usage by more than one
hundred percent? That would mean you have saved more memory than was
originally used and are now using a negative amount of memory.


It is not. It would be nice to have the values that were used to calculate these percentages.
