Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Tuples use a freelist ;-) I think you can safely bump the small array to 7 or 8 elements, to satisfy even more cases. Though you are right that function calls with more than 5 arguments should be rare (and mostly to complicated functions where function call overhead doesn't really matter).
