Hi, I tested this one: Python 3.11.11 (0253c85bf5f8, Feb 26 2025, 10:43:25) [PyPy 7.3.19 with MSC v.1941 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 I didn't test yet this one, because it is usually slower: ython 3.14.0b2 (tags/v3.14.0b2:12d3f88, May 26 2025, 13:55:44) [MSC v.1943 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Bye Mild Shock schrieb: > Hi, > > I have some data what the Async Detour usually > costs.
