Based on my own tests, once you have a 'normal' program that does a bit of IO, calls out some C based libraries etc. etc. I've rarely seen more than 10-20% performance increase across the whole program run.

For individual functions you can see 2-4 times speed up over pure python.

Most importantly, I've never seen it result in slower than cpython performance.
