Google, cough up!

Google spends several b on data centers every year (short scale), it neither reports how much exactly nor on what, nor what share of the cpu load is eaten by Python programs, yet we know big G definitely loves and uses Python.

If Python cpu consumption totaled a meager 10% of total, and some project improved Python's performance by a meager 1%, that alone would save Google several m a year.

Meanwhile PyPy, by far the most fertile modern python performance project, received eurostars grant E! 4791 "PyJIT" worth half an m that is supposed to last several years. ( http://www.eurostars-eureka.eu/search.do )

Thus, Google, cough up!
