Ha, no worries. You are completely correct about conflating setup and
execution. As far as I can tell though, even if I isolate the dict setup
from the benchmark, I get the same relative differences in results.
iteritems() was introduced for a reason!

If you don't need to go back to .items()'s copy behavior in py2, then
six.iteritems() seems to be the best general purpose choice.

I think Gordon said it best elsewhere in this thread:

think we should not blindly use items() just as we shouldn't blindly use
iteritems()/viewitems()
