It would. But calling it in your main loop means your garbage
collector will have to be paid for its hours of overtime.
Well maybe not hours.. but still you waste cpu cycles as opposed
to a .clear() which would already be handled on C level.
I used to use event.set_blocked rather but event.clear might
certainly be a valid solution for someone else.

http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_event.html#clear
As it's new in the cvs you probably won't find it in your
local copy of the docs :)
