I was only aiming for Py3.3.  

If someone wanted to push for a backport to 3.2, it would be up to the release manager to decide whether a performance booster would be worth the risk of introducing a bug in a point release.

ISTM that if someone really cared about performance, they would probably already be using an O(n) key-function approach.  This patch eliminates most of the overhead for calling a cmp-function, but it can't do anything about the body of the user-supplied cmp-function which will dominate the running time if it does anything useful.
