Yeah, I ended up doing it manually.  It was a bit painful though.

Yup, that did the trick.  Although I did have to hack
Modules\signalmodule.c to get it to stop throwing runtime errors when it
tries to enumerate through all signals from 0 to NSIG (completely
unrelated to PyQt of course).

I found the following interesting:

ActiveState 2.4.3 python.exe:

C:\Python24>python.exe Lib\test\pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.980119
This machine benchmarks at 51014.2 pystones/second

2.4.4a Python compiled from svn with VS 2005 + profile guided
optimization:

C:\Python24>python.exe Lib\test\pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.73261
This machine benchmarks at 68249.2 pystones/second
