If we in the end decide that we would like a propose the PEP, does anyone feel the odds are anything but very, very slim? I don't think I've heard a single positive word about the proposal so far except from Cython devs, so I'm reluctant to spend my own and your time on a fleshing out a full PEP for that reason.
Before you do that, it might be useful to publish a precise, reproducible, complete benchmark first, to support the performance figures you have been quoting.
I'm skeptical by nature, so I don't believe any of the numbers you have given until I can reproduce them myself. More precisely, I fail to understand what they mean without seeing the source code that produced them (perhaps along with an indication what hardware, operating system, compiler version, and Python version were used to produce them).
