[QUESTION] Python 3.13 Benchmarking

Question
I was wondering if any benchmarking has been done on GIL-less python (ie, the free threading build of python 3.13). Given that this library is in pure python and supports 3.13, I would assume that this would have a significant impact. However, I haven't seen any concrete figures on the performance impact for this library.

Hi there,

The short answer is no, not yet.

This is for sure an area of interest for me -- I'd especially like to see to what extent standard threading can improve the parallelization of CPU-bound work; this is in theory a pretty significant performance gain over relying on Python's multiprocessing. Just need to find some time to play around with it.

Of course, if anyone is interested in investigating, their efforts would be appreciated.

May try and do something along those lines if I get the chance. Thanks for the quick response!
