76% Faster CPython

On the other hand, the code you are actually timing is a hell of a lot more than just that one call to print. Inside the timing code you have:

• xxHash

  28 8,462 8.4 C

  Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm

I chose xxHash as the "faster" hash function to test out since it is a single header file and is easy to compile.

• hashbrown

  22 2,261 8.2 Rust

  Rust port of Google's SwissTable hash map

  

Google spent literal money paying Matt Kulukundis to improve hash table performance. Now it's literally the built-in hash table for Rust.

• meow_hash

  13 1,666 0.0 C++

  Official version of the Meow hash, an extremely fast level 1 hash

MeowHash is the fastest non-cryptographic hash available online, and if it were used in CPython, which performs a hash for every fundamental operation in the language, then Python would be much faster.
