Trying to assess the performance of a python build is extremely difficult as there are a lot of build tricks you can do to improve it. Recently the astral folks ran into this showing how the conda-forge build is notable faster than most others: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/pull/540 https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/pull/54... I'd be interested to know how the tail-call interpreter performs with other build optimisations that exist.
