Yes, kind of. This is particular to test_ctypes. For me it takes about 30 seconds just for the command you gave, whereas CPython completes in 1.5 seconds. This is due to a combination of factors: it takes much longer to run ctypes tests because, due to the nature of tests, the JIT doesn't really work (every test being run once), and so the result is bad on PyPy because ctypes is mostly written at app-level (in pure Python). I also think that in this case some tests take a long time and fail, but succeed very quickly on CPython. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
