 Optimizations
 =============
 
+* Builds using Visual Studio 2026 (MSVC 18) may now use the new
+  :ref:`tail-calling interpreter <whatsnew314-tail-call-interpreter>`.
+  Results on an early experimental MSVC compiler reported roughly 15% speedup
+  on the geometric mean of pyperformance on Windows x86-64 over
+  the switch-case interpreter. We have
+  observed speedups ranging from 15% for large pure-Python libraries
+  to 40% for long-running small pure-Python scripts on Windows.
+  (Contributed by Chris Eibl, Ken Jin, and Brandt Bucher in :gh:`143068`.
+  Special thanks to the MSVC team including Hulon Jenkins.)
