Yes, running Django in pypy gives you enormous speed boosts (I've seen it myself), but that's not what I was talking about.

I was referring to the benchmarks in which they measured Python code in pypy running against pure C code (see some examples below). While I'm not familiar with the benchmarks you're referring to, I doubt anybody implemented all (or even parts) of Django, genshi or html5lib in C.

See http://speed.pypy.org/ for the benchmarks I was referring to: that's the general collection of benchmarks used for PyPy (several, such as the html5lib one, imported from unladen-swallow), though obviously in specific cases comparisons are made otherwise.
