Another suggestion to add for you all (IDK how helpful.) When I see PyPy I see that its speed is faster for CPU-bound work but I'm thinking there is also I/O bound work that would see significant increases in the load they can handle. You could host a page that benchmarks common tasks like HTTP req/s (different types) with asyncio vs CPython. Could even have an automated tool that allows projects to benchmark performance from a web-page using PyPi without having to install or measure anything.
Benchmarks are tricky. Do you have a specific use case you want sped up?
I have to say the speed comparison on the front page seems hard to read / backwards
I feel like you should either put absolute numbers side by side or how much faster pypy is (instead of how much time it takes)
It would also be nice to see benchmarks of how much faster PyPy is getting each version. I know there is a tracking page but it tracks dozens of tests and has no absolute reference summary by version.
An easy chart to show v3.x is 10% faster than the last version would be great.
