No, the correction followed upon his accurate report of a regression, last August, which was unfortunately mixed in with grumbles and inaccurate claims. Others separated out and verified the accurate report. I reported it to pydev and enquired as to its necessity, I believe Mark opened the tracker issue, and the two people who worked on optimizing 3.3 a year ago fairly quickly came up with two different patches. The several month delay after was a matter of testing and picking the best approach.
