If your measurement isn't flawed, try again after replacing the following
import in copy.py

try:
    from org.python.core import PyStringMap
except ImportError:
    PyStringMap = None

with just

PyStringMap = None

The import is expected to fail on CPython -- and it may take a long time
depending on what you have in your path.
