CPython extensions are significantly slower on PyPy.
It'd be useful to support PyPy as well using CFFI.

Hey Omer, made a note about it in the README about supporting PyPy, though I think we'll probably add the CFFI version as a separate repo.

Out of curiosity, have you had a chance to benchmark under PyPy?

No I haven't. I don't really need this package right now.
I just figured it'd be nice to raise this issue for those who do.

ctypes is also slow on PyPy btw. The only way to match the performance of this library in PyPy is with CFFI.

Noted, will update the issue when CFFI bindings are ready.

Per #3 note that CFFI releases the GIL automatically.
