I've now got my fork working on Python 3.2 with speedups. According to a
non-scientific simple test:

Python 2.7
==========
Python version: 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:05:24) 
[GCC 4.5.2]
11.21484375 KiB read
Timing simplejson:
0.271898984909
Timing stdlib json:
0.338716030121

Python 3.2
==========
Python version: 3.2 (r32:88445, Mar 25 2011, 19:28:28) 
[GCC 4.5.2]
11.21484375 KiB read
Timing simplejson:
0.3150200843811035
Timing stdlib json:
0.32146596908569336

Based on this test script:
