No tweaks mentioned at all inside. The title is wrong. Kinda weird to start a new project that needs to scale with Python though (I use Python most of the time).

"JIT, lazy-loaded modules, pre-compiled static modules, and a bunch of other interesting tweaks against vanilla Python 3.10"

Would love to know more details about the rollout. Because it's adding well over a million new users each hour which is pretty staggering.

I would assume its massively overprovisioned at this point to cover first few weeks if not months of projected growth.

But still there probably is all sorts of juicy details that would be neat to hear about
