While twice as fast would be a great achievement. I don't think that this would convince anyone to stop writing C modules for Python and write performance critical code in Python instead. Since twice as fast is still very slow compared to languages like C/C++/Rust.
Another approach would be to accept that Python is slow and that the use case is very different compared to C. Python could improve on the things where it already has an edge and which fits to its design choices.
