Rhino 8 Script Editor does not run IronPython 2 scripts

@Rhino 8 Regression: CPython/IronPython RhinoCommon Performance Is Worse

IronPython compiles to dotnet common language runtime (CLR) bytecode, and uses the same type system and managed memory as dotnet runtime and therefore is incredibaly fast…

Does this mean there is no hope of ever making the Cpython “incredibaly fast” ?

I notice that for scripts that are compatible with both the new ScriptEditor and the old Rhino Python editor, there is a noticeable difference in speed.
