I will frequently do simple computation with literals to make my code more clear:

t = 2 * 3600  # 2 hours in seconds

But I see no need to optimize this kind of thing -- it would never be in a tight loop.

The suggestion was specifically about optimising comparison of literals such as 1 < 2, which is not done at present, and the objection is basically YAGNI - that kind of thing is just too rare to be worth it.
