Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the py:set, py:run, and py:runresult entry points and the communication with the Python process; done means py:set operations are batched with the run and runresult flow to reduce communication overhead.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, every py:set sends a message to the python process and waits for a result. However, we could instead batch py:sets with py:runs and py:runresults to reduce the amount of communication. This would likely be a pretty good performance boost, as communication time is definitely a big bottleneck.
