1. penalty for multitasking?

I'm not likely to ever use multitasking, and I wondered whether there is much of
a penalty incurred by the addition of the multitasking code for those programs
that don't use it? Maybe I'll run a few tests comparing 2.5 vs 3.0.

With the translator, there's no penalty.
With the interpreter, you might see a tiny slow-down
with recursive calls, but not with non-recursive calls
(which are far more common).
