[issue23290] Faster set copying

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Here is the patch with hoisted the conditionals out of the loop.

New microbenchmarking results:

$ ./python -m timeit -s "s = set(range(10**4))" -- "frozenset(s)"
Unpatched:     1000 loops, best of 3: 407 usec per loop

With patch #5: 1000 loops, best of 3: 272 usec per loop  (speed up 50%)

$ ./python -m timeit -s "s = {i+(j<<64) for i in range(10**4//2) for j in range(2)}" -- "frozenset(s)"
