But any time memory and application logic moves into Python land, it’s game over. Are caches large enough for this code? There’s some work on hardware proposals for these systems, like Zhu et al., They need help tracking down expensive and insidious traffic across the language boundaries (copying and serialization).

Some examples of the latter are heavily cached websites, as well as single-page apps that periodically fetch small updates via APIs and other protocols such as DNS-over-QUIC. Examples include repeat visits on well-cached pages and background downloads and API calls in single-page apps. Head-of-Line Blocking Removal.
