> I'd be very eager to see the CPython benchmarks!
In the talk on youtube, the author mentions that it’s not faster than mainline CPython yet (it is slightly faster than experimental off-by-default microoperation support it’s built on top of, but it was already slower than mainline, so it cancels out at best). I think the idea is for it to be merged, but only enabled by default once it becomes worth it; and that’s why the perf numbers aren’t advertised yet.
Still, I wonder what the expected peak improvement is. Looking at the current generated assembly, there’s definitely room to improve, but there’s only so much one can do without touching the data model.
