Guido insists that single threaded performance of Python has the highest priority - http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=214235 http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=214235 I am not sure, any implementation of Python will beat the single threaded performance of Cpython..

CPython is still a naïve interpreter. PyPy beats it in most cases, sometimes by a lot. Of course, PyPy still has a GIL for the same reasons CPython does.

IIRC, IronPython single-threaded performance was competitive with CPython.

Multiple ones already do.

So your complaint is that GVR doesn't want patches that would (significantly) regress performance for the majority of use cases, yes?
