Wondering if anyone might be able to provide insight into why this project from Chris Banes "only" benefited 9% moving to k2. Like some folks in the comments, I was definitely expecting a larger jump (although 9% by just bumping a version number is nothing to sneeze at either 😅) https://twitter.com/chrisbanes/status/1785996503070150745

"Optimized for speed" is literally the first thing mentioned in the "key priorities" on the roadmap: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/roadmap.html#key-priorities – sure, it's not the only reason for the rewrite, but it definitely is one of the topmost goals.
