I have to echo this sentiment here. Every time I see a post about PyPy being fast, I think, "Hmm, perhaps I should try out this package I'm working on and see if it performs better." After getting a PyPy environment working---sometimes by installing forks that are PyPy compatible---I almost always end up with real word uses that are noticeably slower with PyPy as opposed to regular ol' CPython.

I may not be coding to PyPy's strengths, but I've gone through this process on several different packages that I've released and I tend to see similar results each time. I want to try and use PyPy to make my code faster, but it just doesn't seem to do it with real code I'm using.



Please file bugs. We can't fix issues we don't know exist.
