[pypy-dev] deepcopy slower in PyPy - testing script

[Jorge de Jesus]

 Hi to all

That was an interesting result, so (for what I understood) there is
nothing wrong with PyPy, it's just the code I'm trying to run doesn't
have "sufficient" loops  for the JIT to kickstart and be useful ?

Any one has a copy of "PyPy for dummies" ^_^

All the best
Jorge
