Summary
The weekend package switch uses Python 3.14's new interpreter and, with compatible compilers such as GCC 16, can deliver roughly 5% to 15% faster performance.
CachyOS said users need only install the latest packages, with no further configuration changes required to benefit from the update.
The tail-call interpreter debuted as an option in Python 3.14, following a CPython pull request last year that outlined its design and significant performance gains across workloads.
