MyHDL got speed up by 6-12x according to their `performance page`_, putting
it in the same league as other HDL implementations.
"By simply changing the Python interpreter, MyHDL is playing in the same league as Verilog and VHDL simulators. This is a remarkable achievement, given that Python's power stays completely available. There is no reason anymore to avoid MyHDL because of performance concerns."

<p>PyPy has been successfully used in production by various people. Here are
few excepts of feedback we received:</p>
<divclass="section"id="lwn-short-experiment">
<h1>LWN short experiment</h1>
<p>LWN did <aclass="reference external"href="http://lwn.net/Articles/442268/">an experiment</a> with parsing “git log” and got a speedup from 63s to
21s using PyPy over CPython.</p>
<p>“In other ways, PyPy is ready for prime time; it implements the (Python 2.x) language faithfully, and it is fast.”</p>
