My question would be this why you want to do anything to address the (context-dependent) conclusion that “Python is slow”? ;-)

How I would address [1] with any Python3 dot release would be:

  1. LATENCY: Manual driver/controller in the app for gc.* for the sake of predictability in timing. Run it when your app is idling. Do not run it at the hot spots.
  2. BANDWIDTH: Use a freaking C-library for the payload processing. By practical means all of them have Python bindings.
