It would be relevant if the two GCC issues that I stated (cost of time and 
bugs) ever cropped up in future versions of Python.

While I hope they don't, if an aggressive "optimize Python" effort gave me 
a substantial performance improvement at the cost of a few flags, I would 
pay the price.

Even under that scenario you don't _have_ to know anything.
Just type "python foo.py" and go.
