I'd expect to see some improvement, based solely on the bugs fixed recently by 
the optimizer team. No idea how much, but I know that Martin builds with PGO,

No idea what the gcc update involved, but this is only accurate if it took less 
than two minutes :-) I've upgraded the CPython projects before and everything 
worked fine.
