[pypy-dev] PyPy in the benchmarks game - yes or no?

[Joe]

While I spent my Saturday trying to make PyPy look better in the
language shootout, I'm leaning towards taking it out.  While a
comparison between languages may be interesting, maybe having 1
implementation per language in the shootout would work better.  Then
there is one target to optimize for.  PyPy and CPython have very
different performance characteristics.

I feel as though speed.python.org may be a better venue for comparing
python implementations.  Since the pypy developers have closer ties to
the Python Core developers and it's been stated they'll have
influence.  It can be made to be fair for all parties involved.  Since
all parties will likely be python implementations they can all agree
on one implementation and use that.
