I am surprised PyPy has such a huge lead over Python. $ time python pyrb.py real 348m35.965s user 345m51.776s sys 0m22.880s $

10-100x speedup seems normal for CPython vs well compiled code. I don't have experience with PyPy though, so in this specific case I'm not sure.

Raytracing is a pretty great place to apply pypy, you have a very heavy loop that will hit the JIT. I've certainly seen speedups like that on stuff like project euler code.
