Not that much, actually (except that I have a faster machine than you
:-).  Nice work (particularly as the listresize reworking made no
detectable difference on this machine).

Just a couple of thoughts:

1) listextend_internal calls PyObject_Size twice, for no obvious
   reason.

2) It's a little odd that listextend_internal consumes a reference to
   b.  Perhaps a comment?

Cheers,
