There is updated change that use utility code
__Pyx_Py{List|Tuple}_GetSlice because Py{List|Tuple}_GetSlice dosn't
support negative indices. That job do (in CPython) {list|tuple}slice
function from type object's slot ({list|tuple}_subscript), but it
handle both indices and slice objects which add overhead. That's the
reason why PySequence_GetSlice is slower: it create slice object and
falls to {list|tuple}_subscript. Therefore I added utility code.

Here is utility code:

/////////////// PyList_GetSlice.proto ///////////////

static PyObject* __Pyx_PyList_GetSlice(
                PyObject* lst, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t stop);

/////////////// PyList_GetSlice ///////////////

PyObject* __Pyx_PyList_GetSlice(
                PyObject* lst, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t stop) {
    Py_ssize_t i, length;
    PyListObject* np;
    PyObject **src, **dest;
    PyObject *v;

    length = PyList_GET_SIZE(lst);

    if (start < 0) {
        start += length;
        if (start < 0)
            start = 0;
    }

    if (stop < 0)
        stop += length;
    else if (stop > length)
        stop = length;

    length = stop - start;
    if (length <= 0)
        return PyList_New(0);

    np = (PyListObject*) PyList_New(length);
    if (np == NULL)
        return NULL;

    src = ((PyListObject*)lst)->ob_item + start;
    dest = np->ob_item;
    for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        v = src[i];
        Py_INCREF(v);
        dest[i] = v;
    }
    return (PyObject*)np;
}

/////////////// PyTuple_GetSlice.proto ///////////////

static PyObject* __Pyx_PyTuple_GetSlice(
                PyObject* ob, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t stop);

/////////////// PyTuple_GetSlice ///////////////

PyObject* __Pyx_PyTuple_GetSlice(
                PyObject* ob, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t stop) {
    Py_ssize_t i, length;
    PyTupleObject* np;
    PyObject **src, **dest;
    PyObject *v;

    length = PyTuple_GET_SIZE(ob);

    if (start < 0) {
        start += length;
        if (start < 0)
            start = 0;
    }

    if (stop < 0)
        stop += length;
    else if (stop > length)
        stop = length;

    length = stop - start;
    if (length <= 0)
        return PyList_New(0);

    np = (PyTupleObject *) PyTuple_New(length);
    if (np == NULL)
        return NULL;

    src = ((PyTupleObject*)ob)->ob_item + start;
    dest = np->ob_item;
    for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        v = src[i];
        Py_INCREF(v);
        dest[i] = v;
    }
    return (PyObject*)np;
}

Here is testing code:

list_slice.pyx
-----------------

from cpython.sequence cimport PySequence_GetSlice

cdef extern from "list_tuple_slices.h":
    inline object __Pyx_PyList_GetSlice(object ob, int start, int stop)
    inline object __Pyx_PyTuple_GetSlice(object ob, int start, int stop)


cdef list lst = list(range(10))
cdef list lst2 = list(range(7))

def get_slice1(list lst):
    cdef int i
    cdef list res = []

    for i in range(200000):
        res.append(PySequence_GetSlice(lst, 2, 8))

    return res

def get_slice2(list lst):
    cdef int i
    cdef list res = []

    for i in range(200000):
        res.append(__Pyx_PyList_GetSlice(lst, 2, 8))

    return res

def test_get_slice1():
    get_slice1(lst)

def test_get_slice2():
    get_slice2(lst)

tuple_slicing.pyx
-----------------------

from cpython.sequence cimport PySequence_GetSlice

cdef extern from "list_tuple_slices.h":
    inline object __Pyx_PyList_GetSlice(object lst, int start, int stop)
    inline object __Pyx_PyTuple_GetSlice(object ob, int start, int stop)

cdef tuple lst = tuple(range(10))

def get_slice1(tuple lst):
    cdef int i
    cdef list res = []

    for i in range(200000):
        res.append(PySequence_GetSlice(lst, 2, 8))

    return res

def get_slice2(tuple lst):
    cdef int i
    cdef list res = []

    for i in range(200000):
        res.append(__Pyx_PyTuple_GetSlice(lst, 2, 8))

    return res


def test_get_slice1():
    get_slice1(lst)

def test_get_slice2():
    get_slice2(lst)

Here are timings:

This change dosn't contain list slice assignments because previous
testing and timings showed that this need more analysis.

Maybe I'l make pull request with this change + tests?
