Mainly the language itself. But I've also been looking at the workings 
of CPython. (Also PyPy but obviously I'm not going to get anywhere 
there, although RPython sounds intriguing.)

(To be clear, I'm not implementing Python, but designing and 
implementing a separate language.

I did try tinkering with CPython, but the only thing I discovered, 
regarding its performance, is that the Windows version is probably 14% 
slower than it need be. I think due to using MS' C compiler which 
doesn't have gcc's computed gotos. But I think few people here use 
Windows so that's probably of little interest. It's not so easy to fix 
either.)
