    working towards the beginning.  See SF feature request 801847.
  
- - in a thread on comp.lang.python, several people noted that list()
-   was much slower than in 2.1 and earlier versions of Python, when used
-   to create new lists from existing lists.  Duncan Booth did some
-   research that uncovered an optimisation that, for lists below
-   about 100 elements, was actually slower than the normal case. The
-   special case criteria have been tightened to rectify the performance
-   regression.
