Don't use this example. I have looked at it and it's nothing more
than a test how slow python is with function calls.

Some of the code is never called and it's very bad written example.

Simple function call test in a loop does the same for a benchmark.

But if you need it as example for 'I didn't know how to write code
but PyPy did it anyway' then it's a nice example. :-)
