If there's some value to the optimization I just removed, let's discuss
it on python-dev. I could have fixed the new code, but it seems a lot
of hairy new code with magic constants that only covered a few corner
cases. The checkin message pointed to a python-list discussion that
didn't have much real evidence in it.
