Hi Maciej,

Thanks for the feedback!

Well, neither this seems to be supported by Django, nor it looks like it's 
actively maintained... :-/

Okay, so I started out with CPython and I'll keep an eye on the load; the 
plan is to bring up a second upstream to experiment with PyPy and see if 
this is getting me anywhere. I will then either try the pure Python fork 
of MySQL-Python, or the original and see if that's really the bottleneck.

On a related note, has anyone tried binary wheels with PyPy, are they 
known to work? Among other dependencies I have is for example Pillow; so 
far I've been building binary wheels on a dedicated development server and 
deploying them to the application server which doesn't have any complier 
infrastructure installed. Will this simply work for PyPy?
