Read what changed and where it helped. Use the included tests to see whether the same tradeoff works for you.
A drop-in build of Pylint and Astroid: identical diagnostics, 48.3% less wall time on the measured corpus. Two pip lines, one-line off switches, every number receipted.
A faster build of restic, the encrypted backup program, with the same repository format: 29.00% less time than upstream across four measured workloads on 4 CPUs, 38.99% lower peak memory. Independent and experimental. The results, methods, soundness reviews and known limits are published with it.
