Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

there is multiple levels of speedups possible/for consideration

  • external tools (mypyc/cython)
  • the hook call mechanism (attr getter in c for the arguments)
  • setup/teardown of hooks
  • behaviour of the limited/scoped hook callers (subset callers used in pytest)

to better gauge impacts we need benchmarks stressing

  • nesting of calls
  • number of calls
  • number of plugins
  • surrounding tools like tracing/hook exclusion
  • number of arguments
