What's the worst slowdown we can possibly get with Static Python?
In Typed Racket, things can get as bad as you want. 10x, 100x, 1000x, no problem. If you keep putting wrappers on higher-order values, it'll keep getting slower.
In Reticulated Python, the worst case I remember is about 10x. I don't think you can do much worse. There's no way to build up a sequence of checks that outweigh the actual code.
I bet Static Python gets 3x in the worst case. Let's see!
