Ping on this one. I want to continue with other improvements to parallel checking that depends on this PR. |

Sorry, was busy today, but I should be able to test this with our big internal codebase tomorrow. Overall looks good, I just want to try this out a little bit. |

According to mypy_primer, this change doesn't affect type check results on a corpus of open source code. ✅ |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I didn't have time to try this out with the internal repo, but I can do it after this has been merged. Approving to unblock follow-up work. Anyway, great results so far -- I think this already makes parallel type checking quite useful, even if we can continue to improve scalability further!

This way we can properly benefit from native parser in parallel type checking. Self-check is now ~2.2x faster with 5 workers compared to in-process checking (also with native parser). Also it uses less memory, but still with 5 workers, self-check takes ~twice more memory compared to in-process.
Implementation is mostly straightforward. The GC freeze hack needed some tuning, as there is no single hot-spot in terms of allocations anymore.
Note: do not use
maturin developfor any performance measurements, as this creates some very slow wheel.
