Well, I guess we should really answer "yes, absolutely". This has been a point we have tried to push forward quite a lot, with apparently no real success so far: we want PyPy to become a replacement for manually written Python interpreters. > We are still 200 times slower than CPython and we still use quite a lot of > memory. After removing the most obvious inefficiencies we are now around 20 times slower. About memory usage, I think that it has always been reasonable (Jacob: you must think about the memory needed to translate PyPy, which is indeed still a bit unreasonably high.)
