[issue39521] reversed(mylist) much slower on Python 3.8.1 32-bit for Windows

[Stefan Pochmann]

New submission from Stefan Pochmann :

Somehow `reversed` became much slower than `iter` on lists:

List with 1,000 elements:

> python -m timeit -s "a = list(range(1000))" "list(iter(a))"
5 loops, best of 5: 5.73 usec per loop

> python -m timeit -s "a = list(range(1000))" "list(reversed(a))"
2 loops, best of 5: 14.2 usec per loop

List with 1,000,000 elements:

> python -m timeit -s "a = list(range(250)) * 4000" "list(iter(a))"
50 loops, best of 5: 7.08 msec per loop

> python -m timeit -s "a = list(range(250)) * 4000" "list(reversed(a))"
20 loops, best of 5: 15.5 msec per loop

On another machine I tried ten different Python versions and found out it's 
only version 3.8.1 and only the 32-bit version:

32-bit  64-bit
CPython iter   reversed iter   reversed
 3.5.4  19.8 19.9   22.4 22.7
 3.6.8  19.8 19.9   22.3 22.6
 3.7.6  19.9 19.9   22.3 22.5
 3.8.1  19.8 24.9   22.4 22.6

Another time with 3.8.0 instead of 3.8.1:

32-bit  64-bit
CPython iter   reversed iter   reversed
 3.5.4  19.5 19.6   21.9 22.2
 3.6.8  19.5 19.7   21.8 22.1
 3.7.6  19.5 19.6   21.7 22.0
 3.8.0  19.4 24.5   21.7 22.1

I used the "Stable Releases" "executable installer"s from here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
