CPython is really quite slow by design. The reference implementation is meant to be obvious and pretty easy to interoperate with C.

I think a RustPython implementation would be pretty cool. You could definitely take that opportunity to worry about performance more than CPython does while also worrying about interoperability more than PyPy does.

Or I'm missing your point and you're suggesting a drop-in replacement for CPython that supports all the same C-based libraries as CPython does.
