I added blist.sorteddict and removed (temporarily) Pypy and Jython.
The results are at
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/python-tree-and-heap-comparison/2014-03/

In short, blist.sorteddict didn't do that well, despite being in C.
In the random workloads, blist.sorteddict was dead last.  In the
sequential workloads blist.sorteddict fell somewhere in the middle.

I excluded Pypy and Jython because blist.sorteddict probably doesn't
run on them.
