I've just been testing out Jakob Sievers' speedup of Python 2.5.2 by
compiling on freebsd with gcc-4.3.3 (the standard freebsd 6.1 gcc is
3.4.4).
I'm glad to say that his modification did improve pybench overall by
about 12%, but during the testing I noticed that in fact some of the
pybench results were much worse using gcc-4.3.3 compared to gcc-3.4.4.
I recall some issues with gcc 4.3 during the development of Python 2.6.
We had to add some flags to compile Python correctly. Python 2.5 may not
be compatible with 4.3.
