Hum, as usuall, pybench doesn't seem reliable at all: I expect worse performance with the patch since it adds "version++" in dict.__setimte__(). I don't really trust pybench, results seem to have a lot of noise :-/
Maybe I'm not using pybench correctly? I used:
$ make distclean; ./configure && make
$ ./python Tools/pybench/pybench.py -f pybench.default
$ patch -p1 < dict_version.patch
$ ./python Tools/pybench/pybench.py -f pybench.dictversion
$ ./python Tools/pybench/pybench.py -s pybench.dictversion -c pybench.default
