That was an exaggeration. Yet there was some basis in fact: elsewhere in 
the thread, I gave an example of a two-line loop that took 2.1 times as 
long to execute in Py3.4.3 as on Py2.7.11.

With some intervening versions, but a 2.7.11 user upgrading direct to 
3.4.3 could be in for a shock, if he's into running pointless loops!
