New GitHub issue #94603 from eendebakpt:<br>
<hr>
<pre>
**Feature or enhancement**
`list.pop` currently calls `list_ass_slice` which contains some extra caculations not relevant for `list.pop`. With a direct implementation the cases for small lists is improved.
**Pitch**
The gain for the improved cases is in the 10% to 30% range.
**Previous discussion**
This came out of tests performed related to #94508
