Here are some timings, on winXP, vs2008 release build:
# t.py
def f(l=range(5000)):
for x in l: pass
# before the patch
> python -m timeit -s "from t import f" "f()"
10000 loops, best of 3: 159 usec per loop
# after the patch
> python -m timeit -s "from t import f" "f()"
10000 loops, best of 3: 160 usec per loop
and these figures are pretty stable on my machine.
Is it too much to pay? Some may consider that potential crashes are more
expensive.
