What Python jit? Do you mean PyPy?

I assumed the standard python command used a JIT.

Is this really not the case? In 2015?

Nope, CPython compiles source to bytecode (ahead of time), but then interprets that bytecode. There's no JIT.

Fair enough.

Some of the things I might do with these don't really have that "better than the x86 version" comparison in any rel sense.

These would only need to be slightly less expensive for me to seriously consider adding a French jurisdiction one as well...
