It was the same for lxml at the time of the fix. > Still 20-30%, and gcc will become the main culprit :) For lxml, that's been the case for ages. I never timed it, but it takes gcc several times longer to compile the generated C code than it takes Cython to generate it. To name some numbers, that's about 18000 lines of Cython code (counting pyx,pxi,pxd) and some 155000 lines of generated C code.
