How much of a setback that should be? The initial target was a 5x improvement over 4 releases, IIRC. What are current estimates like?
- alfalfasprout 3y agoThere will be a 10-15% hit for single threaded CPython code by adopting nogil. So FasterCPython will have to first improve performance at least that much to get to where we are today. That's a cost that's probably worth it.
