The benchmark results presented in this page are extremely misleading; you're not comparing to the actual baseline gpio performance available in micropython.
Micropython already exposes "viper", which transpiles byte code to machine instructions for highly timing or performance critical code paths. This is reasonably well explained in the micropython docs, which has an example explaining how to ... trigger a gpio and very rapidly.
Viper runs on device and directly emits native machine code for decorated micropython functions. If you have serious timing requirements for gpio, then this is how you do it.
Of course, this is restricted subset of the language compatible with direct native code gen, notably just supporting integer datatypes. However, I would be shocked if this project wasn't also restricted to a subset of the language functionality for your transpilation pipeline.
The benchmark should be rewritten to compare against a baseline in micropython using viper. Though this project is pretty neat, the over inflated performance claims would rapidly deflate against a strong baseline.
