They are bignum divisions which are much more expensive than machine
divisions. And it's not just the divisions, it's also the number of
iterations through the whole loop. And the Python 2 vs Python 3
difference is still unexplained.

Yeah this is a reasonable point, though most of the c's should fit in a
machine word, at least in my 64-bit system. I think Python still
separates ints and longs in the implementation.
