openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta Performance Is Looking Good

At least for this Intel Comet Lake system, there were some nice performance improvements to find with the forthcoming openSUSE Leap 15.3.

With openSUSE Leap on Python 3.6 while Tumbleweed is on Python 3.8, the newer version of Python was helping out the Py benchmarks.

From the initial testing of openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta on the OnLogic Helix 500 with Intel Core i7 Comet Lake processor, Leap 15.3 is looking to be in fairly good shape with some nice performance improvements to find over Leap 15.2. In some cases this allows Leap 15.3 to perform similarly to Tumbleweed while in other cases the rolling-release distribution still holds a measurable lead. Those wanting to dig into these results and more Leap 15.2/15.3 vs. Tumbleweed performance data can see this OpenBenchmarking.org result file with all the results.
