> Preliminary numbers on our machines suggest anywhere from -3% to 30% faster Python code, and a geometric mean of 9-15% faster on pyperformance depending on platform and architecture.

Nice!

Is this against 3.12 and 3.13? I only ask because there was a noticeable drop in performance when I updated to those versions.

  • Possibly with your code but a lot of work was done to speedup python3.11+ especially to compensate for the single thread slowdown when they finally remove the GIL (3.13 has nogil but only if you explicitly enable it). By most measurements those versions are signficantly faster then earlier python3 releases.
