optimize some code paths

Optimized some codepaths within the lexer/Python code generation process,
improving performance for generation of templates prior to their being
cached. Pull request courtesy Takuto Ikuta.

This shows around 10% performance improvement in our use case (https://crbug.com/1214033#c32).
