Some examples:

$ ./python -m perf timeit --compare-to=../cpython-release-baseline/python --duplicate=1000 -s "round_ = round" "round_(4.2)"
Mean +- std dev: [...] 110 ns +- 3 ns -> [...] 81.4 ns +- 2.2 ns: 1.35x faster (-26%)

$ ./python -m perf timeit --compare-to=../cpython-release-baseline/python --duplicate=1000 -s "sum_ = sum" "sum_(())"
Mean +- std dev: [...] 88.0 ns +- 6.5 ns -> [...] 57.6 ns +- 1.1 ns: 1.53x faster (-35%)

$ ./python -m perf timeit --compare-to=../cpython-release-baseline/python --duplicate=1000 -s "sum_ = sum; a = [1, 2]"  "sum_(a)"

Mean +- std dev: [...] 154 ns +- 5 ns -> [...] 122 ns +- 4 ns: 1.26x faster (-21%)

$ ./python -m perf timeit --compare-to=../cpython-release-baseline/python --duplicate=1000  "42 .to_bytes(2, 'little')
Mean +- std dev: [...] 109 ns +- 3 ns -> [...] 72.4 ns +- 1.9 ns: 1.51x faster (-34%)

$ ./python -m perf timeit --compare-to=../cpython-release-baseline/python --duplicate=1000 "from_bytes = int.from_bytes" "from_bytes(b'ab', 'little')"
Mean +- std dev: [...] 138 ns +- 3 ns -> [...] 96.3 ns +- 3.0 ns: 1.43x faster (-30%)
