I have to wonder how much this is CPython specific and how much applies to all implementations of Python (including PyPy, which is noticeably faster than CPython).

I've found that PyPy is very fast in most cases. While I've seen hand-optimized C code beat PyPy by a mile, I've seen more cases where the gains were in the 10-20% range. And PyPy keeps getting faster.
