Is it that unusual though? I don't think it's that unreasonable to suppose that 'typical smalltalk code' sends messages to self a good deal more often than 'typical python code'. I'm not saying that this *is* the case, but my intuition is that it might be (not all Python code is that object oriented, after all).
