My guess is that since Numpy with CPython is all about calling into optimized native-code kernels, there's not much PyPy can do to win in big arrays. With small vectors the C FFI overhead would dominate on CPython and PyPy has an advan

What kind of problems did you have with trying to make common binaries? The old wisdom is that you can make it work by building against an old enough glibc (and maybe other conservative deps like base X libs) and then ship other libraries a
