Surprising, even though (IIRC) the performance of the JIT was always fairly underwhelming.

What about the other major change to Python's implementation: free threading? Has it lived up to expectations? I assume it's not also in doubt, despite Guido recently saying "Personally I wish we’d stuck with the GIL"? [0]
