cfbolz, thanks. I think I would bet there will be no significant speedup from it
<graingert>
oh it's not supported
<korvo>
leshaste: I estimated the speedup from CPython to Faster CPython at 1.4x from their own numbers. My prior estimate from CPython to PyPy is about 4.8x, leading to an expected speedup from Faster CPython to PyPy of 3.6x.

not going to speculate on architectural causes
<leshaste>
korvo, when is 1.4x realistically planned for?
<leshaste>
it's basically no speed up at all compared to 3.12
<leshaste>
at least on x86_64
<leshaste>
I would put the odds on it staying basically no speedup on average at about 50% :)
<korvo>
Oh, you have to compare from 3.9 to 3.11 or 3.12, because the Faster CPython folks insist that that is the correct window.
<leshaste>
I was looking at from 3.12
<leshaste>
is that not allowed?
<korvo>
But yeah, I don't know where their planned 5x improvement over CPython 3.7 is supposed to come from, and it didn't materialize in a series of 10%+ boosts over each minor release in the past two years.
<korvo>
Oh, if you start measuring from the wrong minor version, then CPython core devs will complain that you're being unfair.
<leshaste>
those old enough to remember unladen swallow and pyston have seen it all before
<leshaste>
only pypy actually works!
<leshaste>
that's why I am a little sad that pypy development has slowed down so much
