Python 1.6a2 is around 10% slower than 1.5 on pystone.  
Any idea why?

[amk@mira Python-1.6a2]$ ./python Lib/test/pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 3.59
This machine benchmarks at 2785.52 pystones/second

[amk@mira Python-1.6a2]$ python1.5 Lib/test/pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 3.19
This machine benchmarks at 3134.8 pystones/second
