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

GC Expense

Our algorithms are not always the problem, sometimes it's memory {de}allocations that slow you down

  • dict allocation

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

  • Frame creation

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)
