- I've been benchmarking bare CPython startup for something unrelated and get 7.5ms median for python3 -c 'pass' on this machine, 5.3 with -S. That floor is most of the cost for anything short-lived.
Does compiling natively bypass interpreter init entirely, or does the CPython fallback path mean you still pay it on the calls that fall back?
