Thanks for confirming that, Matthias. Testing with GCC 4.8 seemed to yield (mostly) better results. I put the data into a Google Sheet:

Out of the 10 pyperformance tests:
* 3 tests were actually faster with python compiled w/gcc-4.8 * 4 tests were slightly slower (but within 5%) * 3 tests were ~ 20-25% slower
Overall, these numbers look quite a bit better.
