[17:59:26] <nanonyme> DanielHolth, tbh I don't see how it could not be slower
[18:02:12] <DanielHolth> in cffi 1 a big part of the compiled module is just initializing data structures in the backend, based on information provided by the C compiler.
[18:02:39] <DanielHolth> I guess I should just time it
[18:03:37] <nanonyme> DanielHolth, well, the docs also advertise how similar to the API-level thing you can inline C code if you have performance-critical sections
[18:05:27] <DanielHolth> yes, but that's not the same thing as how much overhead there might be between the C and Python function call
