[pypy-dev] Pypy is slower than Python

[Alex Gaynor]

Yes, we have a specialized map for 2 arguments, a specialized zip makes
sense. (Or figuring out how to specialize that loop for N-arguments where N
is ~smallish so the inner loop is unrolled at app level, that's harder, but
probably worthwhile n the long run).
