Python 3.11 beta vs. 3.10 benchmark
4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 May 2022

Compared speed to Python 3.9 using python-speed benchmark [1]
Basically overall 24% increase in performance "for free". Impressive. Stack usage and multiprocessing had the largest gain.

These were coming mostly from the fact that some providers updated to the latest AMD chips.

Type information for faster Python C extensions
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Jan 2024

Lower latency native calls in Python would be extremely useful, thank you for your work! Is the following GitHub issue the right place to monitor progress? https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/546
I'm open to doing some benchmarking. Several of my libraries have pure CPython bindings (StringZilla, UCall, SimSIMD), and all perform low-latency SIMD-accelerated ops, so might be a good testing ground :)
How Many Lines of C It Takes to Execute a and B in Python?

Recent CPython development has been towards optimizations and addressing use cases that benefit from optimizations, some coming from the faster CPython initiative. You might just get your JIT[1].

GIL removal and the Faster CPython project

The faster-cpython folks seem to be working towards a JIT (https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/tree/main/3.13) and both pyston and cinder have JITs. So I don't think anyone has ruled one out.

faster-cpython team has done a lot of work to experiment on it: https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/485#issuecomm...
It kind of sounds like migration to register based is a foregone conclusion, but it's not very clear to me.

lots of big ideas are still remaining to be done. One example is the register based interpreter, see https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/485
A previous plan called for the beginning of a JIT in 3.12, seen as "Trace optimized interpreter" here: https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/wiki/Workflow-for-3....
