The
Faster CPython project has been working to speed up the Python interpreter for the past several years. Now, Ken Jin, a member of the project, has merged a new set of changes that have been benchmarked as improving performance by 10% for some architectures. The only change is switching from using computed goto statements to using tail calls as part of the implementation of Python's bytecode interpreter — but that change allows modern compilers to generate significantly better code.
