Compared before the patch. The comparison that I mentioned is before and
after the PR with the PEP implementation.

Maybe I failed to express myself: that's fine, we don't need to mimick the
current behaviour of f_lineno or change anything in the PEP regarding that.
I just want to check that the new semantics do not slow down anything in a
subtle way.

There is no real concern, but as there were some conversations about
performance and the pep mentions that "the "f_lineno" attribute of the code
object will be updated to point the current line being executed" I just
want to make sure that updating that field on every bytecode line change
does not affect anything. Again, I am pretty sure it will be negligible
impact and the performance check should be just a routine confirmation.
Cheers,
Pablo
