Function application optimization.

Given

  fncs = [func1, func2, ..., funcN]
  args = [arg1,  arg2,  ..., argN]

How should one spell

  results = map(lambda f,a: f(a), fncs, args)

in order to get the result most quickly ?



Unfortunately "apply" takes a tuple of arguments, and there is no
"funcall"[*] in Python.


[*] def funcall(fn, *args):
        return fn(*args)
