I believe that this patch is good anyway, because I consider my (and anybody's) debugging hours worth more than a few seconds of a long-running process. You get *really* obscure bugs this way. I would also point out that this is the kind of feature that should not be traded off for performance, otherwise we'd loose much of the point of Python. IMHO. As it turns out, I measured only 0.5% performance loss in Pystone.
