Citation needed. I don't know of any released version of Python that was
ever “twice as slow” – no qualifiers – than the previous release.
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!
