@ -389,6 +389,12 @@ Major performance enhancements have been added:
* The UTF-32 decoder is now 3x to 4x faster.
* The cost of hash collisions for sets is now reduced. Each hash table
probe now checks a second key/hash pair for each cache line retrieved.
This exploits cache locality to make collision resolution less expensive.

- Issue #18774: Remove last bits of GNU PTH thread code and thread_pth.h.
- Issue #18771: Add optimization to set object lookups to reduce the cost
of hash collisions. The core idea is to inspect a second key/hash pair
for each cache line retrieved.
- Issue #16105: When a signal handler fails to write to the file descriptor
registered with ``signal.set_wakeup_fd()``, report an exception instead
of ignoring the error.
