Our main focus has been on compatibility, as you said yourself, you probably won’t switch until a later version of Python 3’s supported. The benchmark infrastructure for PyPy3 is in need of help. Pypy's own benchmark suite used by http://speed.pypy.org isn't Python 3 compatible yet, nor is the site really setup to run PyPy3 benchmark runs. A few years ago there were plans for the creation of a shared between VMs/the PSF version of speed.pypy.org (to be http://speed.python.org), unfortunately these efforts seemed to have failed or at the very least stalled indefinitely. However the benchmark suite intended for this new site supports Python 3. It’s similar to pypy’s own suite, albeit with a few different benchmarks and unfortunately separately maintained. Here’s output from a run of it with CPython 3.2.5 vs PyPy3 2.4.0: though this was ran on a laptop which isn’t going to produce the most stable numbers but it'll give you some idea: ### 2to3 ###

Then it’s quite a bit slower on “mini interpreters” such as etree/json/Pickle. These modules also happen to be pure/mostly pure python versions on PyPy vs C versions used by CPython. Pickle looks particularly bad, I have a guess that it’s due to removal of an optimization in marshal that happened during py3k compatibility work, see: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/a245775c1e3687662879fe57964a5ece689cd781/pypy/module/marshal/interp_marshal.py?at=py3k#cl-13 and it’s still slower than PyPy2 on many things. Anyway, to reiterate we’ve pretty busy with compatibility work. We could use some help with benchmarking infrastructure =] -- Philip Jenvey _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
