This demo (like all demos) is only showing the best case performance. There are plans to add JIT to C Python ( http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/ http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/ ), but the numbers listed there don't look very impressive.
Mathematically intense code may run faster when it is compiled JIT, but Python users have relied on specially made libraries (Numpy/Scipy/Gmpy/etc.) to get serious speedup.

- ergo14 15y agoSoon pypy will be compatible with numpy and scipy. Also it is interesting what other stuff you can now do with pypy, for example pyglet runs on it - think opengl 3d and 2d games - should be fast enough for many games, you can run pyramid web framework on it with great success including database drivers, so webdev is already possible - i've made some benchmarks of index page for my application and got 4x speed increase request/per second wise - without caching. So while its not ready for everyone yet, it may be ready for you, so don't think about it like some exotic thing no one will use it.
