Do they mean 2x slower than CPython or 2x slower than PyPy? If they wind up with something 2x slower than current PyPy (which is much faster than CPython in many cases), that'll still be a version of Python much faster than CPython that doesn't have the limitations of the GIL and can thread across cores, and that'll be a huge win.
