LWN did `an experiment`_ with parsing "git log" and got a speedup from 63s to
21s using PyPy over CPython.
LWN has a tool they use for parsing "git log"'s output in order to do analysis
on the contributors to the Linux kernel. Simply by switching to PyPy they were
able to get a 3x speedup, from 63 seconds to 21 seconds, compared to CPython.
"In other ways, PyPy is ready for prime time; it implements the (Python 2.x) language faithfully, and it is fast."

MyHDL got speed up by 6-12x according to their `performance page`_, putting

MyHDL got a speed up by 6-12x, on various benchmarks, 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."
