Stage 2 should've been the selling point of Python 3.

If there's really a 50% general speed boost sitting around in "normal" bytecode optimization work (and having read a decent amount of CPython I believe there could be), that's a criminal amount of energy over the past decade instead wasted dealing with what the type of a codepoint sequence should be named.

What’s worse is that py3 was strictly slower than 2.7 for quite a few releases.
