[pypy-issue] [issue1343] datetime constructors are slow

[Gustavo Carneiro]

New submission from Gustavo Carneiro <gjcarneiro at gmail.com>:

With pypy 2.0 beta1, I find that datetime.utcnow is much slower in PyPy than CPython.

--------
import timeit
print timeit.Timer("datetime.datetime.utcnow()", "import datetime").timeit(10000000)
--------
$ python /tmp/test.py 
3.894135952
$ pypy /tmp/test.py 
10.3476600647
