As I understand it, GCC4 won't give any improvement if you are using the latest SIP (although it would be nice to have this confirmed). Thanks to Ulli, modules now only export a single symbol - just using the latest SIP by itself should give you the improvements. > I do have one last question for you though.

Often you find that your are keeping an extra reference elsewhere. Use sys.getrefcount() to check.
