It is my impression that LLVM has matured quit a bit since unladen swallow. Not least in the JIT domain. A lot of unladen swallows development was spent on improving LLVM and not on implementing Python as fast a possible. I seem to recall that the LLVM developers have had discussions on how to better support JIT compilers in LLVM, since unladen swallow, some of it precisely because unladen swallow failed.
