Comment(by cscott):

 I've begun by putting patched versions of python 2.5.1 and numpy into
 joyride, with the fixes linked to from
 http://scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/893 and
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460334

 Both these patches are upstream, and have appeared in python 2.5.2/will
 appear in numpy 1.2.0, so we won't be carrying these patches long.

 Putting the patched versions in joyride will make it easier for
 experimenters to quantify the costs by editing their local image to turn
 on -OO and generating the appropriate .pyo files.
