Regarding non-synthetic benchmarks, quite recently I've tested pypy as a "backend" to Gentoo's package manager (portage). System was quite not up-to-date, lots of packages and dependencies, this is how much time did it take portage to figure out what to update:

  python2.7: 323.13s user 6.50s system 99% cpu 5:30.59 total 
  python3.2: 271.40s user 6.33s system 99% cpu 4:38.64 total 
  pypy1.9: 168.28s user 5.95s system 99% cpu 2:55.16 total

If you feel like providing such a benchmark for speed.pypy.org, we would be very happy to accept it. I'm not sure how hard would that be though.
(Your benchmark site seems to be broken: http://isitup.org/speed.pypy.org )
it seems that it's just overloaded.

EDIT: back for now

Well, probably I would have to bundle whole portage tree, so it would be ~1 GB big, but I'll give it a shot this weekend.
