I just build Python 2.1.3 locally and ran pystones and compared it to the distribution binary version. I did not tuning and chose no special options. On a dual processor 2100+ Athalon I got:

I do not say that all distributions behave the way I observed it. In fact, I had my bad experience only with SuSE 7.3's "Python 2.1.1". My local build did not use any special settings. I just did: ./configure make Dieter
