Oh ok, sure. I will try to run these 2 benchmarks.

I am not sure that I want to use PGO compilation to run benchmarks.
Last time I checked, I noticed performance differences between two
compilations. PGO compilation doesn't seem 100% deterministic.

Maybe PGO compilation is fine when you build Python to create a Linux
package. But to get reliable benchmarks, I'm not sure that it's a good
idea.

I'm still running benchmarks on Python recompiled many times using
different compiler options, to measure the impact of the compiler
options (especially LTO and/or PGO) on the benchmark stability.
