call_method() of typeobject.c has been optimized to avoid temporary method object and to avoid temporary tuple in the issue bpo-29507.
Optimizing callmethod() of call.c was already discussed on issue bpo-29507 but no decision was taken. Since call.c code is more complex, I created a new issue.

callmethod3.patch of bpo-29507 implements proposed optimization, but only when there is no positional argument. The patch doesn't apply cleanly since the code evolved, including a major refactoring: new Objects/call.c file.
