Ok, found the offending line, now all tests pass.
The use case where this patch will pay off the most is slicing your way through
a list of tasks. The toy program below gets about a 50x speedup.
import time
n = 800000
lst = []
for i in range(n):
lst.append(i)
t = time.time()
for i in range(n):
x = lst[:10]
del lst[:10]
print('time = ' + str(time.time() - t))
print(len(lst))
