These days, yes, but it WAS originally called JPython (it was renamed to
Jython later).  So, "has been around a while" is an appropriate context
for using the good old name.

Definitely not, last I measured.  Not IronPython either, overall (though
it's much better than Jython and does get to beat CPython on some
specific benchmarks).
