If anyone knows about a good benchmark for a currently pure Python standard

computationally intensive, I'd be happy to hear about it.

You can take a look at difflib,

I think this is a good example. difflib.SequenceMatcher is linear to quadratic (says Tim) in the number of items and can take seconds or longer in real-life-sized use cases. It is all indexing, comparison, looping, and logic, so I think it would be an interesting test case. There is no C version now, so a sped-up version could be immediately useful to some people.

sre_compile, weak containers
(WeakrefSet, WeakValueDict, WeakKeyDict).
