Some, but well within acceptable IMO, as I think the improved order of hits 
saves some time for end users.  For "time ./yummain.py search mysql python 
library >/dev/null" I get[0] representative times from a bunch of runs like:

before this patch: real    0m7.371s
 after this patch: real    0m7.690s

For something that produces less hits, like "time ./yummain.py search foo 
>/dev/null", there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference, could even be 
that the patched version is faster by a miniscule margin.  The representative 
"real" times for both are around 0m1.179s.

AMD64 3200+, 2G RAM, one SATA drive.
