Re:Performance of the Python 3.14 tail-call interpreter by chowells on Monday March 10, 2025 @02:50PM (#43324341)
That performance regression only hit code that was using a very large number of paths with the same table of computed gotos at the end. That's likely to only be relatively complex interpreters that were affected. So it's not a broad performance improvement. But it is nice to have an example of the compiler's new heuristic failing to prove evidence it needs to be tunable.

Well, that includes at least everyone using Python built with that compiler.
