I'm hoping that the Language Summit will change this, but I suspect that there aren't that many perf improvements in Sam's work that are easily separated from the nogil work. (To be sure, Christian Heimes seems to have made progress with introducing mimalloc, which is one of Sam's dependencies, but AFAIK that work hasn't been finished yet.) -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
