Good idea. Here is bx.pir from Evil Leo:
$ cat bx.pir
.sub main @MAIN
.param pmc argv
.const string PY = '/usr/local/bin/python -O '
.local pmc pipe
.local string cmd
.local string file
file = argv[1]
cmd = PY . file
open pipe, cmd, "-|"
.local string res
lp:
read res, pipe, 4096
print res
$I0 = length res
if $I0 goto lp
close pipe
.end
$ time parrot bx.pir b0.py

Surprise, its equally fast:)
