That very much depends on the application. Jython can sometimes be even
faster than CPython, especially for meaningless benchmarks <0.5 wink>:

I'm currently writing an app that works on CPython (+ DCOracle2 +
mxDateTime) as well as Jython (+ zxJDBC +zxDateTime). I currently need lots
of workarounds for zxDateTime (will perhaps try to enhance it later and
submit a few patches), but it works very fine so far. Performance of Jython
is also fine, of course there _is_ more startup overhead.
