We ran a couple of benchmarks a few months ago with one of the pre-release builds. At that time, we saw a small but noticeable improvement (between 5-10%) in some inference workloads. However, it must be noted that not all workloads saw an appreciable performance uplift, and external factors such as platform, OS, etc. play into this. In any event, we hope to run more comprehensive benchmarks after the public release of Python 3.11. |

Just wanted to add that spaCy spends a relatively large amount of time in C (e.g. matrix multiplication) and Cython code. So the improvements are not as profound as you'd see in pure Python projects. |
