Allocation/GC Expense
Our algorithms are not always the problem, sometimes it's memory {de}allocations that slow you down
- dicts/stringmap
PyStringMap/PyDictionary pay a penalty on allocation now that they're backed by ConcurrentHashMap. We could probably tweak the ConcurrentHashMap initialCapacity, concurrentLevel to reduce this cost
- Frames
Frames are allocated for every Python method call, which is a GC expense. CPython (and JRuby?) recycle frame objects. Reducing the number of fields on the frame can also help (but this likely isn't possible)
Advanced Compiler
Modules to rewrite in Java
- _heapq
- select
- socket
- unicodedata
iterlen support
Adds a length hint to various objects, mainly for smarter allocation during map and list. See test_iterlen
