[Ironpython-users] Why is IP 3X slower than python 2.7?

[Vernon D. Cole]

On some benchmarks, IronPython is faster than CPython. But, if you are
running short scripts from the command line, IronPython is several seconds
slower, because, as you said, it compiles to dotNET code, which is not
cached for the next run.
The speed difference depends on what you are doing.
