This is probably playing a major part. Don't allocate new memory if you can work with existing. If you absolutely need this one create it with the size you need.

Also try to see if you can avoid recreating this and update the existing one instead

Hopefully these comments will help with a good starting point to optimize the runtime |

Hello! What do you think? |

Much better but still quite slow. From a cursory glance not sure if anything else could be improved. Perhaps try profiling the benchmark code to see what the pain points are? |

I believe that the declarations of the variables influence the performance, but are needed. I do not know how to improve this.

are you able to allocate it with the required capacity and then manipulate the contents as necessary? that might help

I removed the variable "Varkwargs" from the main scope, but I had no change in the benchmark.
I defined a capacity for the "kwargs" variable, but it worsened.
Still, I can not find a solution.
Hello!
I implement kwargs/keyword arguments for functions and closures. But I'm not very satisfied with the VM performance difference.
Could anyone help me with that?
