This is a question that doesn't have a single answer. You need to give us a lot more information about what your application does, before we can start proposing ideas about why there is such a difference in your case. In our own experience, the memory usage is usually very roughly around the same as CPython (a factor less than 2 in one way or another). As a first (likely completely random) guess, you are starting a very large number of processes, each of which consumes 60MB instead of 20MB in CPython. If I'm correct, then there is not much we can do; it's known that PyPy's baseline memory usage is higher than CPython's, due to the JIT which ends up storing a few dozens of MBs in any process.
