No doubt, huge perf improvements for free would have made the transition more compelling.
However, what I'm suggesting is that large perf wins are not free. Breaking compatibility too much more could have doomed Python 3. And now that the devs know how painful a transition is, they're far less likely to break compatibility again for any reason.
