Interesting, so your 3.x sum() is optimizing something somewhere.
Strange. Are we both running the same Python? I got those from
apt-get, aiming for consistency (rather than building a 3.3 from
source).

The cost is still visible in the for-loop versions, though, and you're
still seeing the <2^31 and >2^31 for-loops behave the same way in 3.x
but perform quite differently in 2.x. So it's looking like things are
mostly the same.
