Re: Question: Is there any faster way to run benchmarks on pypy/module/cpyext module?

I found one operation leading to the speed decrement.    When inputs are a list of dictionaries, pandas will firstly convert them to a series of numpy.ndarray.    This conversion might be slow when using PyPy.

I made a small example inside the micro benchmark project like this:
====================
def bench_build_np():
with Timer('np.array'):
for i in xrange(N//10):
myarray = np.array([i])
====================

On PyPy, it took about 2.3s, and on CPython it took about 0.22s.

I think I should try to find out why PyPy is slow on such condition.   But though I have read the docs for several times, I am not familiar with the details of PyPy project. Could you please give me some advice on why dynamically creating Numpy arrays is slow, based on how PyPy works?
