Note that ARM is merely an architecture with very diverse implementations having quite differing performance characteristics. If the concern is truly to have no performance regression, then tests on different CPU models would probably be required. Of course, we may also not be that concerned (do embedded platforms often rely on Python's bigint performance, for example?). > GPS: I'm not immediately seeing the ABI issue.
