    Found this:

"http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/#performance-retrospective"

    It's starting to work, but the performance improvement is tiny,
well under 2x faster than CPython.  Only 1.08x on "html5lib".
That's far less than they expected.  They were going for 5x,
which is far less than Shed Skin (which restricts Python)
already achieves.
