It can blast through the word "punishment" in 4 seconds, but for "The public art galleries" it ate about 7 gigabytes of RAM and ran for more than a day before I killed it. I believe it's an exponential problem. Parallelization might help, but it'd probably take a lot of RAM that way. Maybe the RAM use would be better with CPython, but it's much faster with Pypy; I did most of my testing with Pypy 2.2.
