Title of the talk

Python Interpreter Speed-Ups and Optimization

Description

Approaches to speeding up Python code inside the interpreter and In this talk we look at examples of this and cover some techniques such as,

1. Quickening with Adaptive Instructions
2. Specialized Instructions
3. Leaner code frames
4. Inlined function calls

These changes are there in the language from Python 3.11 onwards. The talk will cover mostly the changes that were introduced from Python 3.10 -> Python 3.11.
