Description

Hi all,

I recently did a performance comparison for 65 or so Shed Skin examples/benchmarks, between Shed Skin, PyPy, Nuitka and CPython 3.14. Just wanted to thank everyone for making CPython apparently about 60% faster for these between CPython 3.10 and 3.14!

Also, I just wanted to mention there could be some nice test programs here, that I collected over the years, that you guys may find interesting/fun to play with (I personally always like to focus on a single, interesting program):

For example, a DOOM WAD renderer in <1000 lines:

Thanks again!! Cheers,
