However, rinohtype is located in a very different niche and it would
greatly benefit a lot from a speed boost. Rendering the Sphinx

simply too long given the available processing power. And yes, I have
spent a lot time profiling and optimizing the code. You're always
welcome to demonstrate my incompetence by means of a pull request, of
course ;-)
You talked about PyPy before. Did you try rinohtype on pypy3?
I did. See
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2365/rinohtype-much-slower-on-pypy3
A long time ago, I also backported rinohtype to Python2 to test with
PyPy2. See
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2015-August/013767.html
I haven't been able to try the latest PyPy3 release because there is no
binary for macOS, and building it using pyenv fails
(https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/890).
I tried to download pypy3 just now but the x86_64 binary package isn't
compatible with my old distro (Centos 7) and I don't quite have time to
build it from source. But if I can get that running I would like to try
your rinoh demos with it and see how it performs. I've seen some pretty
good speedups on slow, CPU-intensive python code before with pypy.
It would be great if you could run the benchmark I mention in my first
link and share the results. Highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Brecht
