How we made Python's packaging library 3x faster

Along with a pip (and now packaging) maintainer, Damian Shaw, I have been working on making packaging, the library behind almost all packaging related tools, faster at reading versions and specifiers, something tools like pip have to do thousands of times during resolution. Using Python 3.15’s new statistical profiler and metadata from every package ever uploaded to PyPI, I measured and improved core Packaging constructs while keeping the code readable and simple. Reading in Versions can be up to 2x faster and SpecifierSets can be up to 3x faster in packaging 26.0rc1, now released! Other operations have been optimized, as well, up to 5x in some cases. See the announcement and release notes too; this post will focus on the performance work only.

Pion SCTP with RACK is 70% faster with 30% less latency

https://pion.ly/blog/sctp-and-rack/

#HackerNews #Pion #SCTP #RACK #speed #latency #technology

RACK makes Pion SCTP 71% faster with 27% less latency | Pion

In the RACK profile, SCP sustained 316 Mbps using ~0.044 CPU seconds, compared to 234 Mbps at ~0.056 CPU seconds before RACK. When normalized for CPU usage, this corresponds to a ~71% improvement in throughput per CPU, while max-burst CPU profiles remain comparable.

How uv got so fast

How uv got so fast

uv’s speed comes from engineering decisions, not just Rust. Static metadata, dropping legacy formats, and standards that didn’t exist five years ago.
