This article:
  http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000044.php
says that the -mdynamic-no-pic gcc flag can boost performance of 
statically linked apps around 10%. Testing this with a non-framework 
build of Python shows this is indeed the case.

This isn't really relevant, Mac OS X builds of Python are built as a shared library 
or framework (same thing, basically). Both cases require PIC.
