Did we tell you that cpyext was slow? :-)
In this case, I don't try to run unittest or doctest.
I write a simple script, and run py.py on it.

In my experience, the slowest parts of py.py are when it imports a large
cpyext extension module. But even "import lxml" takes less than
5 minutes, in a py.py running on top of a debug build of CPython.
