Do you have more details on your comparison?
I'm somewhat puzzled how a version that does no more work and has no jumps is slower.

The memory hit is not immediate, but making the object header immutable prevents changes like https://github.com/markshannon/cpython/commit/c73407e7b5d1a0fc794d55c6bcc91cfdc958f6c4
which would potentially save the two word per object overhead that the cyclic GC currently imposes.
