Same here--I spent a couple days porting a compiler frontend from Python 3->2 just to try out PyPy, and got rewarded with a 2-3x slowdown. I messed around with some tracing parameters, but didn't get too much benefit IIRC.

Of course, this was a couple years ago, and I don't have access to that codebase anymore. Things might've changed since then...

When I first tried PyPy I got pretty bad slowdown as well. Apparently PyPy wasn't really good with long strings.
