The slower cases are running with the debugger enabled.  Debug overhead is proportional to number of byte codes executed so something like nested Python for loops will incur a lot of overhead while most real code does not because compute-intensive looping is actually done in C code in Python's builtins, standard library, or third party modules.  I think this is why the genExpr and genFunc cases are so bad -- the way they are implemented is churning through a lot of Python byte codes.

Sorry for the long delay in responding here.  We did not receive the usual notice of new posts for a while.  I think that's been fixed now.
