I think difference environment, difference test tool will generate difference results.

Of courses, which is why i did both PyPy and CPython to show that PyPy is faster in this case.

It would be supercool to re-run these benchmarks on Python 3.11 to see if its performance increases do anything for web frameworks.

Thanks. How do these results compare with earlier versions of Python? Also vs. Python 3.12 release candidate 2?
