Assuming that bound methods are immutable, this is an implementation 
detail, either way. However, it is common for a specific method to be 
called just once on a specific instance. If you have a mixed-case string 
Ss and want the lowercase version, ss = Ss.lower(), you keep ss around 
as long as needed. If the bound method is needed repeatedly, you can 
keep *that* around too.

stack = []
spush = stack.append
spop = stack.pop

for item in it:
   spush(item)
while stack and condition:
   p = process(spop)
...
