That's great, but on which benchmarks?

I would prefer a presentation like https://speed.pypy.org/ (according to which PyPy seems to be only half as fast; but this conclusion can change significantly depending on which benchmarks are used).

I think you're misreading. PyPy isn't half as fast, it takes half the time.

They point out that the geometric mean is 0.22, so PyPy is 4.5x faster.

Yes, than CPython, but I was talking about Graal Python; I would like to know what benchmarks they used and how they calculated the speedup factor.
