Looking forward to runnable code this time. Most of us are old enough by now to remember many project plans just like this one. Fool me once..

This project has already landed improvements in 3.10, and some much bigger improvements in 3.11. This work for 3.12 is "just" a continuation of that excellent effort:

Have you followed the 3.11 performance improvements by the same group? It's ~25% faster than 3.10.

faster at what?!

That's a pretty generic statement and likely true only in a very specific frame.

[sanxiyn]

25% number is from pyperformance benchmark suite, which you can replicate. Whether pyperformance is representative benchmark suite is another question.

Cheers.

It rubs people the wrong way but I always call out blanket statements. Generally languages get faster with each version and theres a lot of numbers thrown around, it doesn't mean your apps will get anywhere near that boost.

If you're lucky that one loop that concats strings got a few ms shaven off while that ORM youre using continues to grind the whole thing down.

How does it compare to peak python2.x performance?

[mixmastamyk]

Already passed it with the 3.6 dict improvements iirc.

python2.x performance was surpassed long ago. I don't think anyone bothers to benchmark it anymore.
