[Python-ideas] Re: For quicker execution, don't refcount objects that can't be deleted

Did Larry Hastings ever publish his experience with separating the refcount for his Gilectomy project? I believe he told us at a sprint or language summit that he had this working, with much effort, but hadn't managed to make it faster than the existing refcounting implementation yet.

There is his talk: The Gilectomy How's It Going: PyCon 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLqv11ScGsQ Here's a list of all his talks. (I was in the audience for one of them.) https://pyvideo.org/speaker/larry-hastings.html I hope this helps. As I recall, it gives the information Guido is asking for. -- Jonathan
