This is due to opcode.py, which in 2.4 uses string formatting to build opcode names, while in 2.3 it uses concatenation. From the diff: < for op in range(256): opname[op] = '<' + `op` + '>' --- > for op in range(256): opname[op] = '<%r>' % (op,) As it happens, string formatting is *really* *slow* in PyPy now. Every one takes about 1 second! So importing opcode.py takes several minutes. Quoting Michael, "time to make string formatting faster".
