This is compared to the standard (CPython) implementation. PyPy is about 7 times faster, often uses less memory and generally optimizes pythonic code better, so would improve all three metrics.

And ZipPy (Python on the JVM) handily beats PyPy on most benchmarks but obviously doesn't beat Java on the JVM for idiomatic code due to the better data structures available in Java Collections vs. Python's standard library.
