While PyPy is indeed sometimes slower than CPython, there is a significant speedup for many synthetic and real-life benchmarks. PyPy with a JIT is up to 20 times faster than CPython for synthetic benchmarks like richards, but still something like 6 times faster for Django. It also beats Psyco in almost all benchmarks. For detailed measurements, please visit our benchmarking site: http://speed.pypy.org All these numbers are also only the current state, PyPy is still continuously improving.
