Benchmarks aren't too promising[0].
I wonder if the original 500% improvement they targeted at the start of the `faster cpython` project is still a realistic target.

It is unclear to me whether Python 3.12 will receive significant improvements. Based on the information from https://github.com/faster-cpython/benchmarking-public, it appears that there may be a 2% performance enhancement. Is this the anticipated result, or are there additional developments awaiting merger?
Initially, the "Shannon Plan" (https://github.com/markshannon/faster-cpython/blob/master/pl...) aimed for a 50% improvement with each release. Has this goal been deemed unattainable, or are there adjustments being made to the plan?
How does that reconcile with the benchmarks here, which say that Python 2.12 is currently somewhere between 5% slower to 5% faster?
