Here's a benchmark comparison of PyPy (1.4 and "latest") against CPython 2.6.2: http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/?exe=1%2B172,3%2B172,1%2BL,3%2BL&ben=3,10&env=

Here's a benchmark comparison of PyPy (1.4 and "latest") against CPython 2.6.2: http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/?exe=1%2B172,3%2B172,1%2BL,3%2BL&ben=3,10&env=1&hor=false&bas=2%2B35&chart=normal+bars http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/?exe=1%2B172,3%2B172,1%2BL,... It's normalized so that CPython is 1.0 and lower numbers mean faster time on the benchmarks. The "django" benchmark is just template rendering. The "rietveld" benchmark is a full django app.
