If you're looking for a bigger and more "real-world" test, the Python interpreter can be built with or without computed gotos for dispatch. It suffices to arrange to define USE_COMPUTED_GOTOS to 0 in Python/ceval.c. You can just change the file by hand, but I vaguely remember there also being a configure flag for setting USE_COMPUTED_GOTOS or HAVE_COMPUTED_GOTOS.

Then run your favorite Python benchmark. For reasonable results, it must be one that spends almost all of its time in Python code, which excludes calls to native code libraries, but also Python programs that mostly do list manipulation like the popular fannkuch benchmark. (The list operations are implemented in C, and fannkuch, although looking like a Python program, spends most of its time in this C library.)
