[pypy-issue] [issue1488] Times slower in PyPy

[Armin Rigo]

Armin Rigo <armin.rigo at gmail.com> added the comment:

(The usual warning about longs: that's never going to be faster on PyPy than on
CPython.  Manipulating large values of type "long" is taking time and it's all
done as C loops anyway.  It wouldn't be significantly faster if you hand-coded
it in C.  But thanks for the report anyway, which shows that our str() can be
improved.)
