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)
