If you're comparing the speed of scripts that have a large amount of crossings of the cpyext layer (i.e. crossings between Python code and CPython C extension code), then yes, it's expected to be much slower. The speed improved a lot recently, which means it is now *much slower* instead of *very, very much slower*. It makes no sense, now or in the future, to use PyPy in the hope to speed up a script that does _only_ lxml stuff with almost no Python code running in-between. > - Memory use continues to grow up to over 80% at which time where my laptop > starts swapping, whereas with CPython usage is never more than 4%. This is more annoying. Can you give us a way to reproduce this?
