[pypy-issue] [issue791] Simple wordcount is significantly slower and fatter than CPython

PyPy 1.9 looks to be a significant regression for this case; however, I had to
compile from source myself, as the 1.9 binaries no longer support Red Hat 5
(glibc 2.5), so perhaps the older GCC explains some of it.

CPython 2.7.3 : 41s   1400 MB
PyPy 1.9      : 65s   1600 MB

----------
release:  -> 1.9
