I recently ran only the couple of with-statement related tests through 
cProfile and it told me that it had spent something like 20 seconds in 
"builtin method sub()", i.e. doing completely useless string processing, 
followed by some 3 seconds or so for the rest of the compilation and test 
execution. That doesn't sound right.
