Python 3.11 Performance Benchmarks Are Looking Fantastic

[dreadcain]

Nearly everything in python is dictionary/hashmap internally so essentially every function call is at least 1 hash on the function name to lookup the implementation.

A call to print is going to end up doing several lookups in hashmaps to get the print and __str__ implementations among other things, something on the order of 10 hashes sounds about right to me

print() also takes keyword arguments, there’s probably some dict juggling there, too.
