Just to summarize this.

I haven't found any "definitive" benchmarks yet but there are plenty of 
people benchmarking and they reveal that 3.4 is much slower than 2.7.

This is an example:

Python 2.7: 24344.88 pystones/second
Python 3.4: 17459.89 pystones/second
Nuitka 2.7: 47243.92 pystones/second
Nuitka 3.4: 28658.92 pystones/second

That's 72% the performance of Python 2.7 and 60% while pre-compiling.

And for that you change your language to decrease memory consumption for 
temporary scoped objects?
