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.

I love Python, and was eager to read some great measurements for 3.4, but I am having trouble comprehending this chart. I read the chart:<p>Python 3 used what fraction? used how many times more?<p>Time-used |- |--- 25% median 75% ---| -|
(Elapsed secs)<p>± ± 5× 27× 51× 77× 77×<p>to indicate that even the 25th percentile Python application required 5 times the amount of time to complete as its Java counterpart. It seems that only the pidigits implementation required less time to complete. How does that lead to the conclusion that Python is -approximately- faster?<p>Edit: fixed chart.
