According to this blog post, 3.2 performance now exceeds 2.6 and 2.7, using the same pystone benchmark that the 3.0 release notes refer to:

- sb 15y agoSupporting your statement: I am positive that Python 3 could be a lot faster than Python 2. If people are interested in what's possible, they should follow the corresponding mailing list (python-dev).
- temphn 15y agoFrom the full article, "Python 3.2 [beta] looks promising coming out just a little faster than Python 2.7.". This same article has PyPy coming in at 3 times as fast as Python 3.2 and Python 2.7 on the pystone benchmark, but if you have used PyPy it is not fast. Looks like we need another benchmark. Does anyone have the Python 2 code from the Shootout? It seems to have been removed so that you can no longer compare Python 3 to Python 2 directly. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=python3&lang2=yarv http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=al...
