How Python bytecode is executed

GaalVM is ~5x faster for regular Python code, but considerably slower for native modules because it actually executes the native code, recompiled into llvm bitcode, in a kind of VM. Or at least that's partly the reason.

But raw Python is super speedy.

That's super cool. It's a shame we can't both have that and the CPython behaviour on native code.
