"In Japan, the hand is sharper than a knife [man splits board with karate chop], but the same doesn't work with a tomato [man splatters tomato all over himself with karate chop]." A cheap knife really is better than a karate master at chopping tomatoes. And Python 2 really is better than Python 3 at doing integer arithmetic on the edge of what can fit into a machine word. But so what? Without seeing any of your Japanese web code, much less running a profiler, I'm willing to bet that your code is rarely CPU-bound, and, when it is, it spends a lot more time doing things like processing Unicode strings that are almost always UCS-2 (about 110% slower on Python 2) than doing this kind of arithmetic (9% faster on Python 2), or cutting tomatoes (TypeError on both versions).
