OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: SHA256. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: SHA512. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.

When looking at the OpenSSL performance of the system-supplied OpenSSL binaries, there were at least some gains to note there. Fedora 44 is on OpenSSL 3.5.8 while Fedora 45 moves to OpenSSL 4.0.2. On this AMD Zen 4 system were some minor improvements to enjoy.

PyBench benchmark with settings of Total For Average Test Times. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: go. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: float. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: telco. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: sphinx. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: pathlib. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: raytrace. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: regex_v8. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: json_loads. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: crypto_pyaes. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: tornado_http. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: python_startup. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: asyncio_tcp_ssl. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: concurrent_imap. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: django_template. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.

With Fedora 45 moving from Python 3.14 to Python 3.15, there were also some minor improvements to note there too. In many Python benchmarks the Python 3.15 version doesn't impact the performance all that much but in some cases there were improvements out of using Fedora Workstation 45 Beta.
