Performance

There is a small performance suite which can be run with the following:

% python setup.py performance

Raw data

	v0.0.1
Python2.6	20.77s
Python2.7	21.13s
Python3.3	27.32s
Pypy	1.333s

The moral of the performance story is that Pypy should be used if performance is important for your use case. However, the current performance tests probably overstate Pypy’s performance.
