Here's the shootout results for:

1.9 vs. Python 2.x:
=
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=3Dall&lang=3Dyarv=
&lang2=3Dpython

1.9 vs. Python 3:
=
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=3Dall&lang=3Dyarv=
&lang2=3Dpython3

PyPy does a bit better, but the shootout doesn't support Rubinius. A =
1-3x difference
is quite  comparable when both languages are currently up to 2 orders of =
magnitude
slower than others. Plus Ruby even wins some benchmarks by smaller =
margins.
