In my limitted experience, IronPython is slower than CPython. I can't
actually get much to run with IronPython, but what I have been able
to get working runs slower. In particular initialization time takes
much longer. A command line utility of mine that takes 1.5 seconds to
run with CPython, ends up taking 20 seconds with IronPython. That 3
seconds for IronPython's own startup and initilization, 12 seconds for
importing modules, and 5 seconds for the rest.
