 To have a feeling on how much PyPy is faster than CPython, try to run the demo

-average, while CPython runs it at ~0.08 fps, meaning that PyPy is **590 times

 It must be noted that this is an extreme example of what PyPy can do.  In
 particular, you cannot expect (yet :-)) PyPy to be fast enough to run an
