Sadly, PyPy doesn't speed up mpmath a whole lot.

Edit: I just tested multiplying two 100 by 100 matrices, and got a 5x speedup with PyPy compared to CPython. Which is nice but not amazing.

I'd be curious to see how the results look if you repeat the entire thing 100 or 1000 times. PyPy takes time to warm up.

It was warmed up.
